Introducing JKL Global Sales Inc.

A new company, JKL Global Sales Inc. has been incorporated to assume responsibility for the overseas importing business originally administered by Tip Top Parts. This change took effect October 1, 2007. JKL Global Sales Inc. is a family owned and operated business founded by Jim Gair and is now run by his three daughters Jaime, Kari and Lindsay Gair.

JKL is committed to importing vacuum parts and products from Asia and working with distributors to build a nationwide network of distribution in North America. Jaime manages the OEM accounts. Kari services all of the distributor accounts and Lindsay is in operations and manages the logistics in their Surrey, BC facility. They stock over 400 items in two warehouse facilities; Surrey, B.C. and Bellingham, WA, and they carry a variety of standard products such as attachments, belts, built-in parts, cords, cuffs, filters, wands and Electrolux replacement parts.

While Asia is the leader in quality, low-cost manufacturing, taking advantage of Asian manufacturing can be nearly impossible due to language, distance and cultural barriers. However, JKL has the specialized experience, connections and manufacturing base to bring you all the advantages of Asian manufacturing at the lowest possible price.

JKL imports and manufactures a wide selection of high quality vacuum components. With over 60 years of industry experience, the company has established relationships with most vacuum cleaner distributors in North America. JKL Global Sales Inc. would like to continue to provide you with the products and service levels you have received in the past. The company prides itself on service, quality, integrity, honesty and reliability. JKL offers quick and reliable service with an extensive inventory ensuring a high fill rate. JKL’s contacts overseas enable them to design, manufacture or source any vacuum component to your requirements. In addition to their core products, they can also quote on custom products where there is a volume requirement is greater than 2,500 pieces.

JKL also provides products to many of the vacuum industry’s OEM’s in North America --from standard items, such as wands, cuffs and cords to items specifically designed and custom manufactured. Large inventories of standard items for the vacuum industry are warehoused in their Surrey or Bellingham warehouses and they are therefore able to offer next day shipping on many items, minimizing your inventory levels and storage requirements. JKL offers turnkey product development for customers that are interested in items that are manufactured to their requirements and specifications. This often consists of design concepts, model presentations, pre-production samples, labeling and packaging. The normal time frame is three to six months from concept to delivery, depending on the complexity of the product. JKL offers a cost effective method to ensure your ideas are turned into reality.
