2004 Orgill Inc. concludes record-setting market; draws western retailers.

The final numbers are in, and Orgill, Inc.'s Spring Dealer Market didn't just break company records, it shattered them.

Held Feb. 12-14 at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando, Fla., the Spring Dealer Market set records for sales, prospects and overall attendance. "We were extremely pleased with the results from the market," said Ron Beal, senior vice president/general manager-hardware division.

Beal said, "The attendance, the number of prospects on hand and the buying that took place during the show are all excellent signs that Orgill's pledge to help our customers be successful is striking a chord in the retail community."

2005 - Sales during Orgill's Spring Dealer Market were up 14 percent over the Spring Market last year, a record number of prospects were on hand and interest in Orgill's programs and services was at an all-time high, according to Ron Beal, Orgill president and CEO.

2006 - Following up on yet another successful year, where the company posted double-digit gains in sales, Orgill Inc. got off to a strong start in 2006 with a record-breaking Spring Dealer Market at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando, Fla.

Held Feb. 23-25, Orgill's Spring Dealer Market set records for both sales and attendance, according to Ron Beal, Orgill president and CEO.

"By any measurement, it was an absolutely fantastic Dealer Market," said Beal. "The programs we rolled out in Orlando, the products on display and the vendors on hand really struck a chord with our customers."

2007 - Retailers from across the country and around the world flocked to Orlando, Fla., to attend Orgill Inc.'s Spring Dealer Market, held Feb. 22-24 at the Orange County Convention Center.

According to initial figures, Orgill's Orlando Market set company records in nearly every performance category including sales, attendance and number of new prospective customers on hand for the event.

"We had an outstanding Market," said Ron Beal, Orgill's president and CEO. "Our Orlando show was very successful by any standards but given the current market conditions in much of our industry, the results are exceptional."
