RapidFix & Tear Mender Product Lines at Ace Hardware Trade Show

MARCH 8, 2018, Dallas, Texas…LHB Industries, Inc. is pleased to announce that its popular RapidFix and Tear Mender adhesive and sealant product lines are expected to attract lots of attention at the ACE Hardware Spring Convention in Dallas, Texas, March 14-17, 2018.

“The Ace Hardware Convention will be an extremely busy time for us since RapidFix and Tear Mender are very popular products for consumers and hardware retailers across the United States,” said Brian Houser, LHB Industries’ director of sales.

“We’re suggesting that vendors call ahead to make appointments for attending RapidFix and Tear Mender demonstrations at our convention booth to avoid delays and long lines,” said Houser.

Houser and LHB commercial representative Scott DeBeaux will be based at trade show booth 2849 at the Kay Bailey Hutchison Convention Center throughout the event in downtown Dallas. They expect lots of attention because RapidFix and Tear Mender brands are such effective and well known products in their categories.

LHB Industries Social Service Mission

RapidFix and Tear Mender product lines are owned by LHB Industries, Inc., which is the trade name of Lighthouse for the Blind-Saint Louis, a not-for-profit 501(c)3 manufacturing, distribution and social services organization founded in 1933. Today, the organization helps children and adults who are visually impaired maintain dignity and independence by offering employment, education and support services. LHB currently employs 48 people who are legally blind in two assembly and packaging plants in St. Louis County, Missouri, to assemble, pack and ship RapidFix, Quake Kare and Tear Mender products, as well as LHB’s flagship products for business, government and military customers. All sales revenues directly support LHB’s 16 Community Outreach Programs under the banner “See the Future.”

The Lighthouse bought the assets of RapidFix and Tear Mender in 2017 and 2015, respectively, to give LHB more exposure in commercial retail markets in addition to its business in government and military sales, and to maintain employment opportunities for LHB’s in-plant workforce.

“We hope to make many new friends in Dallas at the Ace Hardware Spring Convention.” Houser said.
