SUN-MATE CORP.: FROM AUTO ACCESSORIES TO �WOW!� UNDER THE TREE TOYS
U.S. owned Sun-Mate Corp. is a marketer of a diverse range of consumer products and toys. Sun-Mate�s depth of Asian manufacturing resources, combined with its U.S. sales/marketing expertise form the basis for the company�s quality-crafted, cost-efficient product mix. Sun-Mate is based in Chatsworth, CA with customers world wide.
Since the Mid 80'sSun-Mate started as an outgrowth of interest in developing environmentally viable consumer products. Today, Sun-Mate�s line includes the innovative Solar Centurion, a motion and heat-sensing solar-powered security system. In addition, the company�s Dash-to-Dash car charger is a Sun-Mate patented product that charges a car battery simply by making the connection between two vehicles� cigarette lighters (or 12V outlets). With over 1 million units sold, consumers have embraced the convenience of not having to open the hood when in need of a charge.
Sun-Mate unveiled its new range of AC Delco � automotive accessories. AC Delco is the world�s largest supplier of auto parts, and a natural brand for innovative accessories for use in and around the car. Sun-Mate�s AC Delco line enhances the driving experience with accessories such as rechargeable spotlights and flashlights, ideal for use on the road or in the home. Finally, all of Sun-Mate�s AC Delco accessories are designed to more efficiently harness the inherent power in vehicles and homes; most include AC and 12V chargers, and many offer the additional option of dynamo (hand crank) power.
Whereas Sun-Mate�s AC Delco line offers consumers heightened convenience, the company�s emerging range of Secret Santa � pre-wrapped holiday gifts dramatically simplify the gift-giving experience. All Sun-Mate gifts are Secret Santa-priced to retail for approximately $9.99. Each comes pre-wrapped and includes a full-color removable package sleeve which depicts and describes the product within.
While Secret Santa appeals to adult gift-givers, its no secret that Sun-Mate�s big margin, big value toys will resonate with kids this holiday season. Responding to the toy industry�s over-dependence on brands (and commensurate reduced customer margins and diminished product value), Sun-Mate zigs while others zag, with opening-priced, margin-intensive products, loaded with features. The company is able to leverage its combination of consumer products and toys across a network of quality Asian manufacturing resources. The result is exceedingly competitively-priced products; a characteristic all but extinct from a U.S.-owned toy company.
Set to elicit �WOW�s!� from under the tree this holiday, are Sun-Mate�s massive medieval castle and one big happy family dollhouse. In addition, the company�s vast array of walkie-talkies, play sets and wooden products make Sun-Mate a prolific U.S. toymaker with the increasingly unique capacity to meld innovation with genuine value.
