SEARS CANADA INC. TO MARKET SENCO'S RESIDENTIAL CO DETECTOR THROUGHOUT
CANADA
VANCOUVER - Senco Sensors Inc. (SSZ.V) is pleased to announce the addition
of Sears Canada Inc. to their growing list of major Canadian retail
outlets. Sears Canada Inc. is a national merchandising organization, which
boasts approximately 109 full-line department stores, 20 free-standing
furniture stores, 93 dealer stores and the country's only full-line general
merchandise catalogue which reaches more than four million households, and
thousands of communities across the country. This places Sears Canada as
the largest single full-line retailer of general merchandise and
home-related services. The Senco Model ONE carbon monoxide detector will
be on the shelves at Sears in time for the fall heating season.
Sears Canada emphasizes their exceptional service and quality by appealing
to a broad range of Canadian customers. In 1998, Sears Canada enjoyed a
year of record growth while fulfilling its vision to be a "Great Place to
Shop, Work and Invest". This success is in part due to the Company's
decision to remain committed to full-line merchandising while other
department stores have changed their focus, eliminating entire categories
of products. Sears Canada has developed an innovative approach to
retailing through brand strategy, complete customer service and unique
sales channels.
Senco's top-of-the-line Model ONE differentiates itself from the
competition by offering reliable CO detection at levels as low as 30 ppm
with the accuracy of higher-cost industrial sensors. It features
state-of-the-art electrochemical sensor technology, high and low level
alarm points, digital display with easy to read action icons, an audible
alarm, and Senco's unique manual test mode which allows the consumer to
instantly test the detector with a known source of CO.
According to the Canada Safety Council, some 200 people are killed each
year in Canada by CO poisoning, with approximately 1,500 others suffering
serious injuries. Senco Sensors Inc. is dedicated to becoming a major
manufacturer of high quality residential carbon monoxide detectors.
