“Our dealer-partners and end users are extremely important to us,” explains John Vogel, executive vice president for Chicago Pneumatic Construction Equipment. “We wanted a way to reach them with interesting and educational articles to make their jobs easier. We have provided that with the CP Redzone newsletter.”
