The New Carbon Collection Online Store

Powertex Group has added yet another client to it’s long list of industry-leading partners. Late last week, we helped Carbon Motors launch The Carbon Collection online store. Featured on the store is the first in a series of truly unique “Signature Series” garments. The concept of this series is best explained in the following excerpt from their “The Carbon Chronicles” newsletter:

““Fingerprints” is the first offering in The Carbon Collection limited edition Signature Series of the often demanded t-shirts. It was designed by Stacy Dean Stephens, Co-founder of Carbon Motors Corporation, and was inspired by the tens of thousands of people across the United States who have all touched the E7 in one way or another. Whether it was the officers suggesting design features, the business and community leaders driving towards innovation and change in an extremely inefficient process, or the citizens rallying together for new American jobs in support of law enforcement on the Pure Justice Tour – your fingerprints are all over the E7. Buy online now at www.carbonmotors.com!”

Carbon Motors Signature Series Tee

The store has just launched, and we already have more Signature Series garments in development as we speak. Stay tuned, more Signature Series items are coming soon. We at Powertex Group are very excited to see this program develop, and we welcome Carbon Motors as our newest program partner!

The Saturn Collection online store responds to recent announcements by slashing its prices by up to 80%.

Saturn Clearance Sale, Huge Savings on Saturn Branded Merchandise

The surprise announcement that GM will be shuttering the Saturn brand has seen wide-spread effects across all industries. Powertex Group of Eau Claire, WI, who is the current sole licensed provider and reseller of Officially Licensed Saturn Product, has reacted to the shocking revelations by slashing prices on the Saturn Collection online store.

According to Gray Powers, Vice President of Powertex Group, “It is really unfortunate that we have to close up shop on this excellent program we have in place for the folks over at Saturn. We really were able to gain some momentum in the program, even in a down year for auto makers.” He continued, “It’s just a shame that everyone is going to lose a great brand that has developed so many industry-leading innovations over the years.”

Powertex Group is aggressively clearing out the remaining Licensed Saturn Collection Merchandise. Visit http://www.saturncollection.com for huge discounts on all products.
