Dynalon full line catalog in 2009

Dynalon Labware, the wholesale division of Dynalab Corp will be releasing a new full line plastic lab supply and science equipment catalog in early 2009. We are anticipating a catalog similar in size to our last full line, around 130 pages listing our most popular Azlon, Kartell and Sterilin product lines along with our plastic fabrication products made right here in Rochester, NY.

Dynalon relies heavily on our loyal distributors to sell direct to the end users and this catalog introduces many new products that we hope will cause a buzz in the market.

Plans are for this catalog to be available in January of 2009 with the pricing structure set up to match the dealer price books. Dynalon distributors will automatically be mailed the updated catalog along with a form for additional requests.

Should you have any questions or would like to reserve additional copies of our new 2009 Dynalon full line catalog please e-mail dynaloninfo@dyna-labware.com.

Happy Halloween!

Dynalab Corp. is very fortunate that our management is excellent at offering fun competitions and gatherings to bring the employees together. It has been tradition to have a costume party each year with winners competing more for the applause than the actual gift card or lottery tickets being given away. This year was no exception.

We had costumes ranging from Luke (shown left) wearing a dinosaur costume with a cave man riding shotgun to a nurse, some scary dudes and no Halloween is complete without a couple pirates! (Luke is my dog but he comes to work on occassion to eat everyone else's lunches. This saves me on dogfood expense and is certainly a bright spot to the hard work we all put in here at Dynalab.)

Thank you to everyone who participated in today's costume contest and congratulations to Karen Smedly this year's winner! Karen was dressed as an elderly woman who lost her puppy and if this picture was taken from behind you would certainly be able to help her find it! Great costume Karen.

Happy Halloween!

Logo Redesign and Graphics

New company, new logo!

It was time we broke free and lightened the load so to speak as the old logo was quite weighty and said nothing about our company. We had been using the previous logo since the late 1990's so it's time was up. Our new corporate colors are an orange and blue combination. The website will also undergo a facelift of sorts in the coming months.

We also redesigned the Dynalon (wholesale division) logo to include the phrase "quality.service.value". Both tag lines were chosen from employee entries. Along with this redesign came new trade show graphics and literature.

Our banner stands and table drops were purchased through Camelback Displays Inc. These will be shown for the first time at a Laboratory Product Sales tradeshow being held at Cornell University on Halloween day. Our Product Manager Steve Yudicky will also be showing off some of our new Kartell products being introduced for 2009.

This is an exciting new fiscal year for Dynalab Corp. so far. Thank you to all of our loyal customers!

TGIF, one more to go...

The good news is, it's FRIDAY! The bad news is, there's only one more Friday before our fiscal year end which means the craziness is ramping up by the minute. As some of you may know, Dynalab has been tossed around a bit for the past 10 years since being bought by then UK company Bibby Sterilin. The entire group was then bought by Barloworld out of South Africa and most recently (last Fall) by another UK company Nova Capital.

Since Nova Capital is a holding group, we are sort of back out on our own which means this is the first year that our year end numbers are truly ours! It's been an exciting year though and despite the rising energy and raw materials costs we are somehow weathering the storm. As you may have read in an earlier entry, we bucked the system and held our prices through the end of the year when much of our competition caved to the mid-year increase.

This means we have put hours of time reviewing the most effective increases, truly line by line on over 3,000 line items to make sure our customers are getting the most fair prices possible. It would be simple to throw a flat rate across the board and call it a day, but we resisted that urge and opted to "get it right" so to speak.

Our 2009 pricing will start entering the market in the month of October to give our customers time to adjust prior to the January 1st effective date. We hope you can understand the need for these increases, as we keep saying to each other, have you filled up with gas in your car lately? There is the answer to our increases, plastics are a petroleum based product which leaves us no choice but to pass these massive increases on to our customer base.

As usual, the lines of communication are open here at Dynalab Corp. A quick call to 800-828-6595 with any questions is always worth the time. Thanks everyone and have a great weekend!

We're holding on for 2009!

As the summer heat rises it seems so are the prices in the laboratory supply sector. Over the past couple weeks there have been rumors and confirmations from such companies as ThermoFisher that prices will be rising mid-year to consumers on such products as laboratory plasticware.

We as a manufacturer / supplier have been absorbing the constant resin increases for months now but it has become unbearable and actually risky to our businesses to continue as if nothing is happening. We receive price increases sometimes weekly at this point on our purchased in goods for distribution. To say margins are dwindling is an understatement, they are dropping!

Dynalab Corp. / Dynalon Labware have decided to forego the mid-year increase (many of our competitors and distributors are raising prices on August 1st, 2008) with plans to hold out for a full year increase in the 2009. We hope our customers appreciate our efforts and continue with business as usual.

Monthly specials hitting the mark...

Our concerted effort to reach the end users by offering monthly specials, direct mail pieces and e-mail campaigns is paying off. We are on our 4th month of a changing web special and the response has been outstanding! Thank you for your continued support and please let us know if there is either a new product you would like to see Dynalab Corp. offer or something that we already offer you think we can improve on the quality or pricing.
