the challenges raised by customers.
“The purpose of the van is to highlight
our new products, showing them to
potential users of the products for
feedback and approvals,” Haston says.
The van—an extension of Dixon’s
Mobile Connection Trailer program
that includes two 35-foot trailers for
training and product promotion—is
outfitted with product samples, videos,
literature and a package of products
that Dixon can provide the energy
market. “It emphasizes our ability to
manufacture something new or make
alterations that will make their job
easier,” Jones says.
The Solutions on Site Van has a
direct tie to Dixon’s Innovation Center,
which opened in Chestertown in
2012. “The Solutions on Site Van
completes the circle of finding a field
application challenge, coming up with
an innovative solution to address that
issue, producing a prototype for field
trials and getting approval from the
user,” says Haston.
He adds, “Satisfied users will
in turn remember Dixon as an
innovative problem solver, and turn
to us for their next application issue.
There is tremendous satisfaction
in knowing Dixon has helped our
customer save time and money—and
helped save someone from having
a safety incident or hazardous spill.”
Jones is hoping to have enough
successes with the new van to justify
ordering a second one in the future:
“The Solutions on Site Van accomplishes
the goals of being more market oriented
and being innovative for the end user,
and it provides another tool to help
our distributors grow their business,”
he says.
The van: equipped with new products
and ready to roll.
