Over the past few years ELITE’s profiling and sharpening machines have been adopted by over 50 pro teams across North America from the NHL through to NCAA and Major Junior. Momentum continues to be strong as more and more equipment managers are realizing the benefits of performance profiling and the importance of preserving player profiles with our computerized sharpening technology.
And now ELITE is bringing its revolutionary technology to the retail market. ELITE’s E-P3 profiler and E-S4 sharpener are now available for sale to hockey retailers and pro shops in North America.
With ELITE machines you will be able to offer your customers an unparalleled profiling and sharpening service, improve your bottom line and increase customer loyalty.
KEY BENEFITS
Facing competition from the explosive growth of on-line shopping, retailers are looking for opportunities to drive traffic to their stores and retain customers. Our superior blade care machines are designed to do just that. Customers will come back again and again for the Elite experience.
With ELITE’s fully automated sharpening system you will have a superior sharpening offering that will differentiate you in a crowded market and keep your customers coming back regularly. Current retail partners are seeing customers come from long distances to get their blades sharpened on the ELITE system. And they are sharpening more often.
Our fully automated, computer-driven machines are easy to use. With just a little training, any operator can use our machines and deliver consistent quality. This makes staffing your pro-shop and dealing with employee turnover much easier. No more need for experienced hand sharpeners. No more bad sharpenings.
ELITE will ensure that your team is trained to operate our profiling and sharpening machines competently, and also equipped to talk to your customers knowledgeably about profiling and sharpening options.
The E-S4 sharpener sharpens two blades at once and is hands free so operators can do other things while the blades are sharpened. One operator can run two machines at the same time. During peak times you will be able to process many more blades efficiently and reduce client waiting time significantly.
