Chris is local wrestler from Baldwin, NY. I competed with him at Nassau Community college where he earned NJCAA All American honors. He then transferred to Hofstra University where he proved himself at the next level and became a two time NCAA Division I All American.

TW Promotions, Inc.  would like to congratulate Chris on his first UFC win and wish him good luck on his quest to become the next UFC middleweight champion!

Support Chris he is a good guy!

Athletic Directors and Coaches,

2011 Sectional Tournament Mat Sponsorship

As many of you know RESILITE Sports Products, and TW Promotions, Inc. have worked together with the Coaches and Athletic Directors of Section 1, 8, 9 and 11 providing various scholarships for the young wrestlers in your Sections. Throughout this time it has been an absolute pleasure to work side by side with all of the Athletic Directors and Coaches involved. This year we would like to extend our reach as sponsors and provide all of the wrestling mats for your Section Tournaments. As the mat sponsors we take it as our responsibility to provide the highest quality mats available. Last year we sponsored the Section 8 and 11 tournaments and as you can see in the flyer to the right the venues were absolutely beautiful. This was the first time in both of the tournaments history the mats did not need to be borrowed from high schools all over the county and transported to the tournament sites. As you can imagine this saved everyone involved a lot of time and effort. RESILITE Sports Products made this possible by delivering all of the mats directly to the tournament free of charge. During last years tournaments several athletic directors and coaches approached us about purchasing the mats, however we did not have the proper system in place to make them available. This year we are running a Tournament Mat Special and all of the mats will be available for sale prior to the tournament at deeply discounted prices. Please take a few moments to view the flyer to the right and consider purchasing a discounted wrestling mat today! If you contact us as soon as possible we can have the mats custom made to match your school's colors. Thank you for granting us this opportunity, we look forward to the ongoing relationship between TW Promotions, Inc. and the Athletic Directors and Coaches of  New York State wrestling!

Sincerely,

John Cummings

Sales Manager

RESILITE is a very unique company in today's globalized economic environment. Every product they manufacture and distribute is made in America by American workers.  Their 60+ employees have been with RESILITE an average of 15 years, some more than 40!.  With so much of our country's labor and manufacturing being outsourced oversea's now, it's rare to find a company with an experienced local workforce dedicated and committed to excellence like this in the USA anymore. How lucky we've been to represent their unique product line in the NY Metro area for so many years!

Our tour began in the graphic design office of Mr. Travis Green.  Travis creates all of the wonderful graphics depicting what your mats and wall padding will look like prior to manufacturing.  Once he's done, and the design has your approval, it moves along with your school purchase order to the Order Entry Department overseen by Mrs. Miriam Stahl.  Miriam began in 1965 as founder Warren Tischler's secretary and is still going strong. The paperwork is processed inside RESILITE's sophisticated software system and then moves forward to the Shipping Department headed by Mr. Gene Strohecker. Shipping department? Before even being manufactured?  Yes, that's because manufacturing is coordinated to line up with the shipping schedule, as the vast majority of RESILITE's product line is delivered in their own trucks by their own employees, greatly lessening the likelihood your mat might be damaged. Next we moved on to Ms. Jenn Gilbert, the Production Supervisor who schedules the assembly times and spray room dates for the creation of your new mats. This whole process generally takes 4-8 weeks [including delivery] depending on the time of year your order is placed.

A very satisfying aspect of working with a company like this is their willingness to take on difficult and challenging jobs.  You just don't see that effort being made by other companies in this industry. They can accomplish this because of an ongoing and consistent reinvestment in the latest technology and in the continued retraining of their workers. There is no better example of this than in the Gymnastic Product Division headed by Mr. Mark Kessler.  Mark collected his staff and allowed us the opportunity to introduce ourselves as we've been known to push the limits of their creativity with our unusual requests!  We then toured their manufacturing area which is shown and identified in the photos below.  Please note that you are looking at state of the art equipment which in some cases is designed, manufactured and used exclusively by RESILITE.  This is to insure customer satisfaction (Job #1!) and expedite a quality controlled manufacturing process.

We wrapped up our visit on Wednesday, October 27th with a luncheon and golf outing at the beautiful Hemlock Links Golf Course under sunny sky's and 70+ temperatures. This was a perfect ending of a highly successful visit with our long time friends at RESILITE Sports Products, Inc.
