Maine Boat Show
A Great Success
Northboro, MA – (8-16-2004) According to Tony Cantone, VP, The Hope Group’s recent participation at the three-day Maine Boats & Harbors Show in Rockland, Maine was a great success.
“Shows like this continue to be an important way for us to meet new customers and to reinforce for existing customers that The Hope Group Marine Division has the components and systems to help them build and maintain their boats and other marine requirements,” said Cantone.
Cantone pointed out recently that compared with three years ago, The Hope Group has “10 times as many marine-based customers” and has increased sales in hydraulics, fluid connectors and various sub-assemblies as a direct result of its increasing presence in the marine market.
“Without fear of contradiction, I can truthfully say that our emergence as a growing provider of fluid connector and fluid power products and systems to the marine industry has had more impact on The Hope Group, than any other recent development,” said Cantone.
