DAVIE, Fla., Sept. 21, 2005 (PRIMEZONE) -- China Direct Trading Corporation's (OTCBB:CHDT) wholly owned subsidiary, China Pathfinder Fund, LLC. (CPF) has hired Eric Delarue, a 15-year sales veteran of electrical and mechanical equipment, to head up the company's generator sales in Florida. CPF has received numerous inquiries within the past week from Generator installers in Florida looking for alternative suppliers due to lengthy deliveries and higher prices from U.S. manufacturers. CPF looks to supply these service providers who are needed in the process of installing a large generator which is installed with a cement slab and a crane. Most generator suppliers carry U.S. made generators which cost 20% more than CPF imports and deliveries can be as long as 40 weeks on select models.
The company intends to set up exclusive sales territories throughout the country and will be the first such network of large scale Chinese generator suppliers in the U.S. CPF will also private label the generators for the distributor or their retail customer.
Mr. Delarue has more than 15 years experience in international sales of capital equipment. He holds two masters degrees in business administration and international trade and speaks English, French, German and Spanish. Mr. Delarue can be reached at 954-474-0224 or by email at chinadirect.eric@earthlink.net.
This sales initiative is part of China Direct's ongoing efforts to broaden its business lines from the traditional souvenir and gift products and to capitalize on its commercial contacts in China.
