KAMAN INDUSTRIAL TECHNOLOGIES RELAUNCHES KAMANDIRECT.COM

(WINDSOR, Connecticut, January 28, 2008) — Kaman Industrial Technologies, one of North America’s largest distributors of bearings, power transmission, and electrical and motion control products, recently launched its new Web site — KamanDirect.com — that offers users pinpoint search capabilities, simplified navigation and personalization options to provide faster and easier access to more than two million industrial parts and components. 

KamanDirect.com’s leading-edge technology search engine gives users single click access to Kaman’s seven major product categories including bearings, power transmission, electrical, material handling, motion control, fluid power, and accessories. Users can then choose the Exact Match, Starts With, or Contains search functions to quickly and easily pinpoint parts based on keywords, a manufacturer’s name or part number, or the customer’s own part number.  The site also stores and highlights a customer’s purchase history to quickly identify and return to items that have been bought previously. 

“The powerful and comprehensive search engine minimizes the amount of time customers will spend online,” said Brian Lombardo, director of eBusiness for Kaman Industrial Technologies. “KamanDirect.com features tools to help customers find the product they need faster with the same level of service provided by our branch offices.” 

KamanDirect.com features “Storerooms” that further streamline the purchasing process. Storerooms record purchasing history and allow users to create a catalog of items tailored to their buying needs. Users can also maintain invoice records, purchase orders and get quick access to frequently purchased items through their personalized Storeroom. 

The new site, located at http://www.KamanDirect.com, was designed to provide users with a similar level of convenience, expertise and personal service found in the company’s branch operations.  

“The new Web site and its features further demonstrate our commitment to our customers,” said David Mayer, vice president of marketing for Kaman Industrial Technologies. “We understand that our Web users are looking for speed, efficiency and service tailored to their individual needs. KamanDirect.com addresses these requirements with user personalization capabilities and pinpoint search tools.”
