Michael Bertolani, New Age National Account Manager Retail/Rental Division, Retains Status on APRO Vendor Advisory Board

 

Carson, Calif. – March 28, 2008 – New Age Electronics, Inc. (New Age), a leading solution and logistics provider delivering an unsurpassed supply chain model to consumer technology retailers and vendors, announced today that it has been approved as a certified vendor by the Association of Progressive Rental Organizations (APRO). Furthermore, industry veteran Michael Bertolani, who recently joined New Age as national account manager, Retail/Rental Division, will retain his status on the APRO Vendor Advisory Board. Bertolani has been an APRO member for 13 years and has served on the board for the past three years.

 

The burgeoning rental-purchase business represents a tremendous growth area for New Age Electronics. As the leading fulfillment provider of consumer technology products, New Age is well positioned to supply rent-to-own retailers with a wide assortment of product and brand options, improved delivery times and reduced costs.

 

Through its APRO membership, New Age welcomes the opportunity to become an even more active member of the rent-to-own community, helping shape its future while working closely with other vendors on legislation and general industry issues. Bertolani will further support New Age’s involvement with the organization by retaining his status on the Advisory Board, which presents an opportunity to serve as a sounding board to other members and help ensure their interests are being met.

 

“New Age looks forward to working side-by-side with other APRO members to help strengthen the rent-to-own community,” said Bertolani. “While New Age can certainly provide members with greater product selection and enhanced fulfillment services from an operations standpoint, we also view our membership as an opportunity to help the industry evolve by making a positive impact on important issues and legislation. We are pleased that APRO approved us so quickly and we look forward to serving the RTO community and its fellow members.”
