Minimizer Releases Floor Mats for 8 Different International Trucks

Minimizer has expanded its existing lineup of Floor Mats to include a selection designed to several models of International trucks.

Minimizer's Custom Molded Floor Mat kits are designed to fit eight different International trucks including the 5900i, 9200i, 9400i and 9900i models.

The differences in options and models of international trucks required Minimizer to create 12 different Floor Mat models to cover the eight International models, the company says. These differences in cabs can be small and based on transmission type and gearshift location.

“We've had Floor Mats for the ProStars and LoneStars for a while, and lots of the vocational models too, but it's exciting to know that we now have Floor Mats for some of International's most popular models,” said Craig Kruckeberg Minimizer CEO and chief visionary. “Our Custom Molded Floor Mats are designed to be a perfect fit, which can be tough logistically, but I'm proud to say our R&D team has pulled it off.”

Valeant Pharmaceuticals Intl Inc (VRX) Stock Scores 2 Vital Victories

By almost all accounts, Valeant Pharmaceuticals Intl Inc (NYSE:VRX) should be falling today. In simplest terms, although the drugmaker did poorly in Q2 in the aggregate, Valeant demonstrated some success in two key areas that mean the most to the market right now: debt reduction and sales of gastrointestinal drug Xifaxan. Aside from an accounting scandal — complete with the creation of a sham specialty pharmacy — the exit of a CEO and a mountain of debt, sheer distaste for its model of acquiring specialty drugs and cranking their prices up to extortion-like levels finally caught up with the company.
