Hometown: Gimli, Manitoba Canada

Truck:

· Truck Name: Tired Iron

· Year:2002

· Brand: Peterbilt

· Model: 379

· Miles: 1.2 Million

“With over 60,000miles on theses stacks I have had them out in all the elements the road can throw at them salt, deicing agents, mud, snow, tar, calcium, ect. Even had an oil leak that hard backed the carbons in the oil onto the y-pipe. I thought the finished had to be completely destroyed, but with a little elbow grease the y-pipe looked as good as new. I was amazed at the quality of this product. The stacks always come out looking great event with just a wash, but put on some chrome polish and they really shine. Lincoln’s pipes are show quality everyday as they go up and down the road.”

Lincoln Chrome Wraps Up Truck Show Season

Lincoln Chrome extended their truck show season through the month of October for the 2010 season. This year the team participated in over 25 events throughout the USA. "We traveled throughout the mid-west, we did back to back weekends on the east and west coast, and even participated at multiple shows on the same weekend," said Josh Paisley, account representative for Lincoln Chrome.

The Lincoln Chrome team takes great pride in their personal connection to the industry and truck shows are one way they stay connected to their customers and the drivers who use their products.

"Truck Shows are great opportunities to support our customers and promote the Lincoln Chrome Brand," said Katie LeBaron, account representative for Lincoln Chrome. "Often drivers hear about Lincoln Chrome and then seek out the Lincoln Chrome booth at a show, to learn more about the company and our product offering. Truck shows have been a game changer for our business," said Paisley.

Lincoln Chrome will be wrapping up the 2010 truck show season on Oct 24^th in Irwindale, California. During the month of November the team will outline the 2011 season which will kick off in March at the Mid-America Trucks show in Louisville, KY.

Lincoln Chrome Celebrates Two Years of Business

The end of September marked the second year anniversary of the Lincoln Chrome business. “The last two years have been an amazing experience for the team and me. We have learned more than I ever imagined, made lifelong friends along the way, and established the Lincoln Chrome Brand as the premier product in aftermarket exhaust,” said Darren Parker, Director of Lincoln Chrome.

Over the past two years the Lincoln Chrome business has become a multi-million dollar global business. In year two we surpassed many major financial milestones and shipped product to multiple countries around the world. “The Lincoln Chrome brand, as well as our knowledge of trucks and trucking, continues to grow. We continue to see more and more trucks with Lincoln Chrome stacks on the road, and our customer service is viewed as the best in the business,” said Katie LeBaron, Account Representative. The Lincoln Chrome team continues to work hard on the truck show circuit to promote the brand and support both our customers and drivers. “It is great being at a show and people seek us out. Drivers now come to us to talk about our product and their trucks and often the conversations about chrome take place while setting up the booth, fueling at a truck stop, or eating in a restaurant,” said Josh Paisley, Account Representative for Lincoln Chrome.

“Two years ago we started this business with an idea and today we are a major player in the market. The team and business are part of the trucking community and we are committed to providing the best possible product and service in the industry,” said Parker.

Lincoln Chrome continues to add products to their offering to address the ever changing needs of the industry. The recent launch of NeverBlue Technology offers customers a chrome product that will not discolor at high temperatures. As the industry’s needs change, Lincoln Chrome will be there to grow with our customers and the many drivers who use our product.

“The last two years have been a phenomenal experience for the team and me; I look forward to 2011 and beyond with excitement and want to take a moment to thank all the people at Lincoln Industries who produce our high quality products; as well as, the many customers and drivers who support Lincoln Chrome in the industry, “ said Parker.

North to Norfolk

Although it was a windy day the Lincoln Chrome team had a blast at the US92 Fueling the Fire Truck show last weekend. It was a long week of travel for me; I flew in early from Sacramento, Cal to attend the show. After 11 days of traveling it was good to be home in NE, and hanging with friends at a truck show was a nice homecoming.

This is the 2^nd year the Lincoln team has attended the US92 Fueling the Fire truck show. This is one of the more laid back shows we attended, the people are amazing, the host take great care of everyone, and we always enjoy ourselves. We spent most of the day talking with drivers, catching up with old friends and making new ones.

There were over 50 trucks in the show and all were impressive. This show brings out some great working trucks, and it is always a blast hearing driver’s talk about their rigs.

Our next stop is Vegas for the Great West Truck show. We hope to see ya'll there!

As always stay safe out there on the road,

LINCOLN INDUSTRIES UNVEILS NEVERBLUE TECHNOLOGY

LINCOLN, NE—Lincoln Industries is proud to introduce its newest innovation, NeverBlue^TM technology. As emissions regulations lead to an increase in engine exhaust temperatures and the resulting discoloration of chrome finishes, NeverBlue provides an effective solution to both meet emission regulations and prevent the “bluing” of highly cosmetic chrome.

The NeverBlue^TM technology is a combination of processes that prevents chrome finishes from discoloring at high temperatures. It is currently being used by Lincoln Industries’ OEM and aftermarket customers for the heavy-duty truck market. According to Darren Parker, Director of Truck Aftermarket at Lincoln Industries, NeverBlue technology gives its product line, Lincoln Chrome, a distinct advantage in the marketplace.

“No one else has this sophisticated or effective of a solution. Anyone who wants to preserve the quality of their stacks and keep their truck looking sharp can now turn to us for the answer. We already have the best looking stacks in the industry, and now we can make sure they stay that way even with higher exhaust temperatures,” said Parker.

Parker pointed to the company’s dedication to taking on the most difficult customer challenges as the primary motivation for creating NeverBlue technology. In this case, meeting customers’ needs meant finding an answer that many thought was impossible. But with the experience and history of innovation at Lincoln Industries, nothing would stop the team from finding the right solution.

While NeverBlue technology is currently utilized only in the truck market, it is being evaluated for other applications and is in early testing stages with some of the companies existing customers. The first technology of its kind, it will continue to rapidly expand into other areas at Lincoln Industries.

Lincoln Industries, founded in 1952, is the leading supplier of products requiring high performance metal finishing. The company serves many industries including power sports, heavy duty trucking, automotive and agriculture. Lincoln Industries launched thier aftermarket truck business in 2009 under the name Lincoln Chrome.

Another New Year

It is hard to believe that we are already a month into a new year. 2009 is now far behind us now, and we are very optimistic and excited about 2010. This year Lincoln Chrome is committed to continuing to providing the best possible customer service and highest quality product in the industry. We are focused on providing innovative solution and products to address the changing needs of our customers and the industry. And of course, as all of you know, we are planning to have some fun along the way.

Josh and I can’t wait to see you all as we travel this year’s truck show season. Lincoln Chrome is a proud sponsor of Pride and Polish this year, so be sure to look for us at all their truck show beauty contest. We look forward to sharing stories from the road and talking about all things chrome.
