Teleflex Marine to Begin Marketing Detwiler Jack Plates

    NEWBURY PARK, CA, August 02, 2012 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Teleflex Marine acquired Detwiler Industries, LLC earlier this year and over the past several months the company has integrated this new line of jack plates, controls and accessories into their family of products. All Detwiler products now have their own Teleflex Marine part numbers and stock is available for shipping from the company's distribution center in Litchfield, IL.

In addition, they have finished work on a full array of marketing materials to support the sales team as they take this brand to market. The new Detwiler catalog can be downloaded at www.teleflexmarine.com.

Teleflex Marine will offer three Detwiler Jack Plates - the D1000 Side Locked Manual Jack Plate, the D2000 EZ-Adjust Manual Jack Plate and the D3000 Hydraulic Jack Plate. Several controls for jack plate adjustments will also be offered, including rocker switches, the EX-Zact Dial and Teleflex Marine's own Pro-Trim, as well as a variety of parts, components and mounting bolts for installation and repair.

"We just completed the new Detwiler catalog and web pages and we're eager to begin promoting this product line to our network of distributors and dealers," said Tom Douglass, vice president of sales and marketing for Teleflex Marine. "With the fall show season just around the corner, we're ready to talk to distributors, dealers and boat builders about how adding Detwiler jack plates to their product mix will add to their bottom line."

While Detwiler jack plates are well-respected in the industry, Teleflex Marine is already at work on "next-generation" products at their hydraulics facility in Richmond, BC. Expect to see new Detwiler jack plates from Teleflex Marine.
