PC Tan, importer and manufacturer of tanning equipment, has joined forces with Connecticut-based Future Industries – an agreement that allows the new partners to have a stronger national footprint and better serve the Northeast market.
Under the agreement, Future Industries, a tanning supply company, becomes an equipment distributor for PC Tan’s UV and red light therapy equipment in the Northeast.
“This was a natural transition for PC Tan and Future Industries," says Susan Miller, CEO of PC Tan. “As a longtime industry leader, Future Industries has always represented premium quality equipment, and they are known for outstanding customer service and support. The Future Industries staff is a welcome addition to the PC Tan team."
Future Industries has been distributing the KBL brand of equipment to their customer base in the Northeast for several years. PC Tan became the exclusive importer for KBL this year, a move that Twan and Karen Bentlage, owners of Future Industries, support. “It was natural for the two companies to decide to work together," Miller shares. Now, Future Industries will also distribute uwe and Montego Bay brands of equipment in Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Vermont and parts of New York.
“Our agreement allows us to be part of a stronger national team representing three of the finest brands in the country – KBL, uwe and Montego Bay," reports Karen Bentlage, president of Future Industries. “Future Industries has specific organizational strengths that are complementary to PC Tan’s business. PC Tan’s national footprint and strong focus on equipment, plus Future Industries’ strengths in customer service and support are a great combination."
Miller and Bentlage developed mutual respect for each other as board members of the Indoor Tanning Association and have been respectful and friendly competitors for many years. The new partnership allows the two companies to offer expertise backed by nearly 50 years of combined experience serving the tanning industry.
