Combination of two old-line textile manufacturers strengthens dominance in their fields PHILADELPHIA — HumphrysCoverSports, a leading national manufacturer/distributor of tarpaulins, industrial fabric covers, military specification tarps and athletic surface covers including windscreens, gymnasium protective floor covering systems, wall padding, and gym mats, has acquired Globe Canvas Products, which since 1970 manufactures awnings, as well as other covers and textile specialties. Globe becomes a division of Humphrys-CoverSports and will move its Yeadon, Penn. operations and employees into Humphrys' 240,000 square foot facilities in southwest Philadelphia. Kevin M. Kelly, the owner and president of Globe, will remain as president of Humphrys' Globe Division. When the move is completed, the southwest Philadelphia facility will employ 100 people and generate more than $16 million in annual sales. "We have had a long and close relationship with Globe for many years, and this merger into our company should enable the combined companies to improve manufacturing processes, and grow in new markets. Humphrys' future is brighter with Kevin and his team joining ours," said Ron Nissenbaum, president of the 140-year-old Humphrys-CoverSports.

"I was at this casino minding my own business, and this guy came up to me and said, "You're gonna have to move, you're blocking a fire exit." As though if there was a fire, I wasn't gonna run. If you're flammable and have legs, you are never blocking a fire exit." – Comedian Mitch Hedberg 7731 Woodwind Drive, Huntington Beach, CA 92647 800-716-0888 Email: info@ddtechusa.com www.ddtechglobal.com
