    I think that's great news!  Congratulations to both companies!

    Talked to my JDS sales rep today and he says they'll stock all of Tropar  products at their warehouses.

    for us we'll get items the next day.  Double win for us.

    We have been customers of Tropar for at least 35 years + and love their product, not to mention their people. Mark Miller was excellent with PDU and then the same with Tropar. John Ilaria has always been great. Now that JDS has acquired Tropar I am sure we will get the JDS stellar customer service. Our best to the Ilaria family you will be missed and thank you for many years of great service.

    As a fellow supplier in the industry, I wish nothing but the best for Peter, Greg, Mark, Kathy and all of the many wonderful employees at Tropar. I'll never forget my first solo tradeshow on behalf of Netsoft Studio in 2015 at the Southeast Award Pros Show in Atlanta and how Mark looked out for me. He has always been so wonderful over the years by passing leads my way and always been willing to help his customers as well as a fellow supplier.

    I am excited for this news, but worry about what industry consolidation will mean on competition.  Also, didn't Airflyte offer personalization services through an ASI supplier account?  In my opinion that is awfully close to taking potential customers away from retailers.  I will say I love JDS and our relationship, and I loved Airflyte and the relationship we have had and how they have helped us continue to grow our business throughout the years.  They have always been great to work with and have had such a wonderful staff.  I am hopeful that JDS will continue with the great Airflyte tradition, and continue to act with the highest standards as they have always to help this industry grow and thrive!  

    All the best to both parties involved!
