A cool thing happened last week. A representative from the Rachael Ray television show - Yes! Rachael Ray, the daytime cooking show with spunk - contacted EMI Industries to inquire about our checkstand products.
The show is planning on airing an episode featuring the National Grocery Bagging contest. Recognizing EMI Industries and a leading checkstand manufacturer, they looked to us for the 6 identical grocery collection and bagging end units required for the competition. Of course you can imagine we were excited and open to this unique opportunity. Unfortunately, the timing of the call, coupled with the fact we are having our best two months (back-to-back) ever in sales and revenues had all of our plants filled to capacity. The Rachael Ray show needed the baggers in 3 days. That just wasn't feasible as customers were counting on us. We had to decline. Nevertheless, Rachael Ray will keep us in mind for upcoming opportunities. So, thanks for thinking of us Rachael Ray!
