mystery product revealed
Padlock Promos LLC believes in a relevant promotional product that can give a brand long-lasting visibility. To make this a reality, the company offers the industry's first 100 percent American-made, 100 percent brass, promotional padlock.
The locks are manufactured at a facility in Ohio that has been owned and operated by the same family for eight generations. A true expression of American craftsmanship, these brass padlocks have a reputation for unparalleled quality and reliability. As a result of their reputation, the locks have been used in high-security industries and institutions, including government and military installations, utilities, railroads, refineries and manufacturing operations—both indoors and outside.
Because they are made of brass, the locks are rustproof even in the harshest conditions. As they age over time, the richness of the material only gets better. The locks are designed to last for decades, which will enable them to display your client's logo for many years.
Some unique uses for these padlocks are: awards; fundraisers; security/gates; corporate gifts; commemorative gifts; lockout applications; outdoor applications; industrial applications; and two-part mailer or promotional campaigns (send the keys separately).
