KENT MANUFACTURING CELEBRATES THEIR 35TH ANNIVERSARY

Kent Manufacturing, of Venice, Florida takes pride in celebrating their 35th year in bus-iness. The company has gone from designing ac- cessories for the Yamaha G-1 and 3-wheel E-Z-GO to the current Yamaha Drive, E-Z-O RXV, and the Club Car Precedent. Kent Manufac-turing is still able to sell any part it has ever designed, so anyone with a Hyundai or Melex is still able to convert it into a utility vehicle or 4- pass-enger. The current product line includes sun tops up to 20 feet long, seat kits, trailers, utility vehicles, ambulance bodies, twelve passenger trams with an 11 foot turning radius, stretch kits, electric dump beds, brush guards, nerf bars, side rail covers, hitches, custom boxes, and other products featuring aluminum and plastic fabrication.

Kent Manufacturing offers products for material and personnel transport used in golf and sport venues, agriculture, landscaping and turf care, housekeeping and maintenance, food service, security, and warehouse/storage facilities. Kent Manufacturing’s products are currently used in resorts, malls, hospitals, factories, airports, amuse-ment parks, movie studios, churches, car dealerships, and as city tourist shuttles. Kent Manufacturing has debuted a new web site to show all their latest creations with more already waiting to be added.

The growth and success of the company is attributed to partnering with dealers to provide innovative solutions to their golf car and utility vehicle needs. A primary goal of Kent Manufacturing is to create an enduring and mutually beneficial relationship with each dealer. This fact is proven by their inquiry referral process. Each dealer with an open account with Kent Manufacturing receives referrals from all direct RFQs that originate from their designated service area, either from phone, fax, email, or website. Kent Manufacturing wants their dealers to provide sales and service to the end user so they can concentrate on producing quality products made in the U.S. at a great value. Kent Manufacturing stocks a large selection of parts to allow shipping within 24 hours in most cases.

All products are aluminum with clear anodized finish, diamond tread bright, polished brushed, or black in gloss and wrinkle. Kent Manufacturing does their own powder coating so custom colors can be quickly processed as well. In celebration of their start in 1973, black powder coating on all inventory items is free for the entire year of 2008.

To provide perspective to the longevity of Kent Manufacturing, in 1973 Xerox introduced the color copier, gas was 40 cents a gallon, the FDA began requiring label information on all foods sold nationally, the American League introduced the designated hitter, and The Sting was the best motion picture. Even Skylab was not able to survive 35 years as Kent Manufacturing has. Vice-President Chad Drobisch, who is marking his 20th year with the company, would like to thank all dealers who have grown over the years with Kent Manufacturing and promises to provide the quality service that these special people deserve for hopefully the next 35 years.
