Pioneer Industries

Pioneer Industries, Inc. sits on the executive committee of a new campaign, America’s Strength, whose primary goal is to raise public awareness of the underfunding and overextension that could break the Navy-Marine Corps team. America’s Strength, the Navy League of the United States campaign, brings together humanitarian organizations, businesses and retired military officers to inform the United States as a whole that our Navy-Marine Corps team is close to its breaking point. The campaign urges Congress to act and invest now, before the Department of the Navy cannot reverse the long-term, detrimental impacts that an inadequate budget and over-demand will have on the nation’s defense, economy and position as a world leader. Since 2001, the size of the Navy and Marine Corps has steadily decreased even as the number of missions and operations has increased. The combination of increased daily operations and responding to crises, and delayed maintenance due to a lack of funding, is crippling the Navy and Marine Corps.

Members of the Pioneer team traveled to Baltimore to meet with several vendors and a customer. The visit gave Pioneer an opportunity to meet additional key members in Sales and Engineering, to see and further understand vendor products, and discuss strategies to win future business.  One of the meetings was with a new “start- up” vendor.  Topics discussed during this meeting included how the Preferred Vendor Program can benefit the newly rising company.  Pioneer visited a customer in the area to gain feedback on how to better support their needs.

Pioneer will ship in monthly releases over a six month period to extend the shelf life and thereby extending the item application viability.

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Members of the Pioneer Industries team have been selected for the Board of Directors of a new Navy initiative group. Vice President, David Yormack and National Sales Manager, Howard Fox, now sit on the Board of Directors for Navy Now.

The U.S. Navy is the first response and forward deployed force, therefore making their position important in matters of National Defense. 

COLUMBUS, OH -Pioneer has recently received roughly $1,000,000 in orders for transmission control assemblies in support of the Hummer reset program.

Las Vegas, NV – Members of Pioneer attended this year’s SHOT Show held in Las Vegas, Nevada. The SHOT Show is the largest trade show of its kind featuring more than 1,600 exhibitors serving the firearms, ammunition, and hunting industries. The show offers a uniquely diverse Law Enforcement and Armed Forces section for agency and department purchasing agents. It was a useful forum to meet with some of PVP Members, considered the elite manufacturers of weaponry for the military. The Pioneer team also attended an invite only “range day” held by SIG SAUER to see and test the latest in weaponry.

WARREN, MI – Pioneer Industries, Inc. has been invited to participate in a new “nonstandard item acquisition program” to help the U.S. Military support foreign defense agencies. Pioneer’s inside sales force has already been able to identify and resurrect items that have previously been deemed unprocurable.

Pioneer’s participation in this new program is expected to help Pioneer better reach the end user and result in a cost saving to the taxpayer.
