For the 2^nd year in a row, the KBIS trade show presented a great growth opportunity for The Delaney Co. With the PRIVEX AP501 as the "spotlight" product in the Delaney booth, attendees were also very interested in the Delaney Designer collection of products and the PRIVEX SK500 keypad lever.

Congratulations to Amy Atwood, of LaForce Inc., who was the winner of our $500 Best Buy Gift Card Drawing. In closing, a word of thanks….to everyone who helped make our KBIS 2010 Show a success. We’ll see you next year in Vegas!

Stay tuned for updates on the DHI Show in Chicago!

The program, which started as part of an initiative to help control the group’s health insurance rates, grew into a program that encompassed Physical Health, Mental Health, and the health of the Community.

The program included services like Free Physicals, Guest Speakers from the Medical and Wellness professions, Free healthy lunches prepared by managers, free pedometers to encourage exercise, a Biggest Loser Challenge, and more.

Throughout the program, the company also sponsored charitable events as its way to contribute toward the health and wellness of the community. The group donated over 200lbs of food to a local food bank during the holidays and collected over 60 pieces of winter gear for family’s who needed warm coats, gloves and blankets.

In addition, the company implemented it’s first Delaney Service Saturday in which all employees worked on a community project. The projects included landscaping the local Community Service Center, Cleaning out a basement for a local Foster Care organization, packing Health Kits for Haiti victims, and making Greeting Cards for deployed Soldiers.

"The Be WELL program opened my eyes to many aspects of wellness that I had never considered before, like taking care of my skin, exercising more, and monitoring things like blood pressure. Even though I’m a pretty healthy person, the guest speakers and educational programs really helped me to understand that long-term wellness must start now," says Amy Densmore, Purchasing Agent.

Like Amy, many employees are adopting lifestyle changes that they’ll hopefully carry with them through the months and years ahead. From sharing healthy recipes to group walks during lunch and break, one thing’s for sure, The Delaney Co. employees are in it for the Health of It!!

The Delaney Co. had a productive week exhibiting at the IBS in Las Vegas in January. While the attendance this year was estimated to be about 55,000 people (vs. 60,000 last year), the mood was significantly more upbeat than 12 months ago. Based on the hundreds of people we spoke with, the majority stated the following: 1) The building business is still fairly slow in most markets, and 2) they are optimistic about business conditions improving in 2010.

While Delaney highlighted various products in our 20' x 30' booth, the star of the show was clearly the PRIVEX® DIGITAL DEADBOLTS.

Awarding the Sunnect AP501 its highest Premium Selection Best Buy for offering "all of the features a 'top-of-the-line' buyer would want," Consumers Digest says, "the AP501 delivers unmatched security."

SPRINGFIELD, Va., Jan. 4 /PRNewswire/ -- Sunnect announced today that its AP501 Advanced Protection digital door lock received the Consumers Digest Best Buy award in the Electronic Keypad Deadbolts category.

In the February 2010 issue, Consumers Digest says, "the AP501 delivers unmatched security. It is the only keypad deadbolt lock that we've seen that can take a direct gunshot and still work."

In a congratulatory letter to Sunnect, Randy Weber, publisher of Consumers Digest, said the Sunnect AP501 "has been recognized by the editors in the current issue as having exceptional value in today's highly competitive marketplace."

The Sunnect AP501 was not only selected as the "Best Buy" in Electronic Keypad Deadbolts, but was given their "Premium Selection" designation for offering "all of the features a 'top-of-the-line' buyer would want." This award is based on independent testing, consumer surveys, published evaluations, dealer interviews, and personal product evaluations by the authors and researchers.

Michael Kwon, president of Sunnect, said, "We are very pleased by the recognition from such a well-known consumer publication as the Consumers Digest. This award reaffirms the overwhelming approval we have received from our customers as well as door lock industry professionals."

The Sunnect AP501 is a premier digital door lock that is totally pickproof and offers such convenient features as keyless entry and automatic locking in a beautiful and extremely-robust structure that the National Locksmith magazine called "a dream to install and operate, one tough deadbolt... built like a tank."
