New Products: Zep-Pan Rejuvenator, Professional Advantage+, O2TM by TimeMist, Assure Precision Dispensing System, Zep 45 DualForce.
Comments: Sales rose more than 5% last year, driven by the acquisition of the Ecolab vehicle care business and price, which were partially offset by lower organic volume. Net income dropped more than 30%.
To boost sales, in February Zep said it would hire more than 100 sales associates and is focused on hiring both returning military personnel and professional sales associates skilled in targeted market areas.
For the second quarter of 2014, which ended March 31, sales declined 3.4% to just under $158 million. Zep blamed the decline, in part, to bad weather in the US. For the six months, sales totaled $322.7 million.
Last month, Original Bike Spirits by Zep Inc., a line of motorcycle cleaning and performance products, launched the Let Freedom Ride Photo Contest on Facebook, where fans have the chance of winning a 2014 Harley-Davidson Heritage Softail Classic motorcycle valued at $19,525. The contest asks participants to “Like” the Original Bike Spirits Facebook page and submit an original photograph that captures the free spirit of the American road for a chance to win the bike. The contest follows the conclusion of a contest that identified three of the dirtiest homes in America. Three “winners” each received a thorough home cleaning from Zep Commercial’s team of professional cleaners and $5,000 each to help keep their homes clean for a year.
“When we launched this contest we knew we’d get a look into some seriously grimy scenarios,” said John Callahan, VP-marketing, Zep Commercial. “(But) our contest winners are without a doubt the Hottest Messes we’ve ever seen.”
