Precision, Inc. (RIFL:NASDAQ), announced that
it has substantially expanded its Royal Grip order fulfillment capabilities
with the opening of a new West Coast distribution center,
located in Scottsdale, AZ. The Company's existing distribution
facility located in Torrington, CT., will continue to provide
customer service to the eastern U.S. Royal Precision has also
purchased a large inventory of Royal Grip models in anticipation
of its expansion in order to meet expected demand in the
spring with prompt delivery.
It has also completed a restructuring of its credit facility with Wells
Fargo Business Credit, Inc. The restructured facility consists
of two term loans and two lines of credit that provides Royal
Precision with $1.7 million of additional available borrowing capacity.
The new agreement lowers the interest rate by 1 percent on
borrowed funds, resulting in estimated savings of $65,000, according
to the Company, annually and extends the maturity of the
credit facility by one year to September 30, 2002. Royal also announced
the promotion of Kevin Neill as it's chief financial officer. |
