Macon, GA January 18, 2010 - ShuBee, an international safety products supplier for the residential service contractor industries, today announced the celebration of 10 years in business.

Steve Stone started the company with a simple idea: providing shoe covers for the working contractor. The booties then available on the market were medical grade, which were often too small to fit around a work boot and didn't hold up during the work day, so Stone developed his own line and slowly added additional "sight to gain attention" products to the lineup.

Ten years later, the venture he and business partner Randy Bennett started has grown from a home-based operation expected only to generate "extra fishing money" to a global business offering a comprehensive product line including shoe covers, coveralls, surface protection, gloves, safety equipment, marketing tools and consulting services to clients from Alma to Alaska, from Africa to Australia. "All our products are designed to give (the clients) peace of mind and help the contractor land the job," Bennett said. "The number one complaint from homeowners," Bennett adds, "is they made a mess of my home."

"We want contractors to use our products, and to know how to use our products," said Stone. "The customer only perceives value in what they see. If a contractor comes in to fix a toilet, all the work is on the inside. Our products help demonstrate the care and professionalism the contractor is taking to protect the home owner's investment."

ShuBee has celebrated many milestones during its ten years of operation, including being selected as a preferred vendor for season seven of ABCs Extreme Makeover: Home Edition, meaning ShuBee's products will be used on the job sites where the show rebuilds homes for deserving families.

"We're honored to play a role in such a great cause," said Stone.

Also in 2009, ShuBee was honored by Inc. Magazine as one of the 5000 fastest growing, privately held US companies, placing the company among the ranks of some of the most successful businesses in America. "We are extremely excited to have received such prestigious recognition," Stone said. "To be in the same category with such successful companies is a real honor and we look forward to staying on and even moving up the list in the future."

The company is currently operating out of their fourth location in Macon, Georgia, with additional warehouses in San Jose, California and Denver, Colorado. "We've outgrown every place we've been," said Bennett. "We've even added additional warehouse locations to house more product and get it to our clients quicker."

Stone adds, "By being in touch with our clients, we have been able to adapt to their needs and grow with their business. That's been a huge factor in why we've experienced the success we have. We're really looking forward to the next ten years."
