Who We Are
The Company was started 25 years ago in New York as a division of a hardware company, which was founded in 1909. SUNGOLD was incorporated as a separate corporation in 1983 with the business focus as an abrasive importer. In 1995 the company focus was changed from importing to manufacturing. During the past six years our manufacturing capacity has increased 1000 fold, enabling us to expand into numerous markets that were not accessible to us in the past.

Building on our reputation for unique service, we have grown from a small organization to a company of more than 45 employees operating the most up-to-date and state-of-the-art machinery available.

We now manufacture a full line of sanding belts from _" wide to 67" wide, over 300 varieties of sanding discs, non-wovens, sponges, micron film, sanding stars and related products. We have three U.S. manufacturing facilities and have the capacity to make over 500,000 discs and 50,000 belts in one shift.

Our potential for continued growth appears unlimited. We are now expanding our presence in certain territories with new marketing concepts creating opportunities in sales and sales management careers.

The SUNGOLD Vision
SUNGOLD is in the process of building a world-class sales and manufacturing organization. We have invested millions of dollars in the last six years in automation and expansion of our manufacturing and shipping operation. The order processing and shipping has been streamlined. We currently ship 97% of orders for stock items within 24 hours.

Over the past three years the manufacturing of special made-to-order items has been reduced from three weeks to two weeks to one week by process and equipment improvements. Our newest goal is to manufacture and ship custom-made items in 1-2 days! We expect to achieve this within the next six months.

During the past three years, we have established relationships with material suppliers around the world to support our increase in manufacturing. We have also embarked on a product development program, to introduce new products that will give SUNGOLD a competitive edge.

We are now starting to build a sales and marketing organization to support the manufacturing capabilities and the new product introductions. We envision a team of 100 salespeople supported by ten regional technical support personnel and ten regional sales managers, which will constitute ten teams. The salespeople will work individually and as a team to market the SUNGOLD products. Currently we are building the first of those ten teams.

SUNGOLD is looking to hire individuals that would like to be part of this vision and opportunity.
