Red Dot Officially Opens New Memphis Facility

SEATTLE, Wash. (June 13, 2006) -- Red Dot Corp. announced today that it has officially opened its new assembly and distribution facility in Memphis, Tenn.

Red Dot acquired the 78,000-square-foot building in November 2005. It employs 30 people to assemble and distribute heating and air conditioning components and systems for a wide range of commercial vehicles.

"We're dedicating our efforts in Memphis to provide more reliable access to a wide range of all-makes and private-label products," said Randy Gardiner, president of Red Dot. "This is not only a new physical location for our company. It expands our capabilities as a distribution hub and light-manufacturing operation."

The facility is located at 3961 Outland Road, Memphis, TN 38118-7020. It has nearly twice the square footage of Red Dot's previous location in Memphis, where the company has had a presence since 1989.
