TULSA, Okla. (November 5, 2009)
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
McElroy, the pipe fusion experts, recently announced three new venues for getting more information regarding thermoplastic pipe fusion and fusion machines. A customer-centric company, McElroy believes adding pages and profiles on Facebook, Twitter and YouTube will keep end users better informed about fusion products and the pipeline industry.
Adding the social networks allows the customer to have another venue to reach McElroy with suggestions, compliments, concerns and problems.

Social networking will provide advantages in the dissemination of information during trade shows and special events; the ability to direct customers to online videos, instruction and information; improve customer service; and provide networking capabilities for those within the industry.
“McElroy and our distribution network are extremely excited by the opportunities that come with being better connected to our customers through these new platforms,” said Chip McElroy, chief executive officer of McElroy. “Facebook, Twitter and YouTube offer unlimited opportunities to exhibit why we believe in pipe fusion and our machines as the best way to solve infrastructure problems around the world.”
McElroy’s Facebook profile and fan page allows users to network, to upload their own pictures of McElroy machines in the field and keep up to date with the latest product introductions. Recently, McElroy has used the page as a place to update trade show attendees to special notifications.
