BLOOMING PRAIRIE, MN - Minimizer poly fenders are the perfect match for the salt mine industry in Utah. Steve Cook, an Outside Sales and Parts Representative with Kenworth Sales Company out of Salt Lake City, was contacted a year ago by Morton Salt.

Morton Salt has giant salt mines 40 miles west of Salt Lake City. They had been using aluminum fenders on their T900 Kenworth Trucks for years and were consistently disappointed. The aluminum fender could not withstand the cold, heat and corrosive environment of the Utah salt mines. Kenworth Sales Company suggested they try the Minimizer poly fender. The result was a happy customer.

"This is an ideal fender for the salt mine industry," said Steve, "it can handle the harsh conditions of the salt mines, there's been no corrosion. Now the customer plans on transitioning all of their vehicles to the Minimizer poly fenders. They use the quarter fenders and full fenders. They are really pleased!"

Since inception Minimizer poly fenders have always been unique, they don't rust. The material they're constructed from is 100% polyethylene. As a result, they don't need paint, they never fade or stress crack and you don't have to polish them.

Minimizer poly fenders will enhance the performance and look of all makes and models of over the road trucks, construction vehicles, or agriculture equipment. Enhance your vehicle with Minimizer poly products. The toughness is unmatched as seen on this Minimizer promotional video entitled "Tested & Tortured".
