Ameru News!

As mentioned in my earlier article (http://robertmixblog.blogspot.com/2012/03/some-bearings-we-sell-in-peru.html) we are having an excellent year down in Peru.  Our total sales this year are about $312,600 as of last Saturday.  Our new strategy ("Three Main Brands"), plus some bearings where we can exploit some niches (Chinese ZWZ for the "Precio Nada Mas" group of our customers) is working out very well for us.  KBC, Iljin and MBS are now 78.5% of our total sales, this will go up as our sales of Koyo, NSK, NTN and Nachi (all from Japan) continue to decline.

Some of you likely saw the picture in my above referenced article:



That BIG bearing in the back is for Ford Super Duty truck, and is out biggest (heaviest) bearing.  We just sold one:

We also got a new car, a Suzuki Alto.  That brings our fleet up to four vehicles, one car and three minivans.  Below is a picture (generic) of a Suzuki Alto.  We will use the car for collecting money and for errands so that we do not have to use our heavier vehicles (that we use for delivery).
