Astoria is excited to announce its Chipper & Forestry Truck Body Promotional Program. Customers placing orders prior to June 30, 2012 will receive special incentive pricing on multiple unit purchases.

Additionally, Astoria Dealers can now take advantage of 6 months free financing for a limited time to put an Astoria Chipper Body in its demonstration fleet. RBG Inc. of Raymond, NH has done just that:

"We believe Astoria's newest design of the Tigerglass™ enhanced Chipper Body will set the standard in the Tree Care & Forestry Truck business. Lightweight, rust free, and capable of withstanding the most demanding environments and impact situations, Astoria's solution gives us the market advantage dealer's like RBG need. Now, by partnering with Astoria on its Field Demonstrator Program, we have the go-to-market support and field presence required to get deals done."

-- Kirk Messing, Sales Manager, RBG Inc., Raymond, NH

We want to give a special thanks to Kirk & the RBG Team: like us, they believe Astoria's technology & design is setting a new industry standard! RBG will be unveiling the new Astoria unit @ one of the largest industry shows in New England -- New England Grows in Boston, MA from February 1-3. Please visit RBG and the newly designed Astoria Chipper & Forestry body in Booth #2418 if you make it to the show. Complete information can be found on the show web site:

Deans, Inc. - Experience from New Mexico

To anyone who might be considering a fiberglass service body from Astoria Industries. Our fleet has many Class 4 and 5 service trucks. We have had nearly every brand service body available and I can tell you that this fiberglass body is as sound today as it was when we mounted it several years ago. I cannot say that about the same class crane bodies that are made of steel. The steel bodies are breaking apart in as little as 6 weeks. The roads and conditions that these service trucks operate in are often in a word, impossible. Whether your trucks operate in corrosive environments or on extremely rough roads, this body will hold up and look good for a long time.

Carroll Electric: First Hand Experience

For Carroll Electric, Astoria Industries sets the standard for fiberglass bodies. Here in Northeast Ohio we are considered to be in the rust belt. We pride ourselves in having a nice looking fleet of vehicles and without good solid fiberglass, our steel bodies were a mess at the end of the truck's life cycle. Our fleet of Astoria body bucket trucks look awesome even after 5 years.

This 5-year old truck [pictured] is working proof.

We are firm believers in Astoria Industries' product design and quality, which is why we are now a 100% Astoria shop. And we are now excited to be using Astoria's new fiberglass technology, Tigerglass™, for even greater strength in our truck bodies.

Dear Friends of Astoria,

From all of us at Astoria Industries, we'd like to thank you for visiting us last week @ ICUEE 2011 in Louisville, KY. As always, we enjoyed seeing old friends and making new ones throughout the show. If you were also able to join us on our Dinner Cruise Tuesday evening, we hope you enjoyed the event as much as we did. If you missed the cruise this year, not to worry: The "Pirates of the Ohio" will make an encore appearance, rest assured!

Going forward, we hope you take advantage of the latest advancements from Astoria that we featured at the show:

1. Tigerglass™

Tigerglass,™ our patent pending, ground breaking core material, will continue to set the standard for strength and flexibility in the service and utility body business. There's simply no comparison: Tigerglass™ beats aluminum, steel and fiberglass composite materials on a strength-to-weight basis every time.

2. The New Astoria Website

Please visit our new home on the web @ http://www.astoriaindustries.com to stay on top of the latest from Astoria. If you're also part of our dealer network, stay tuned for the launch of our "Dealer Connection" feature in October and a set of digital tools to help you grow your fiberglass service body business.

3. Continued Engineering Advancements

From our new Chipper Bodies to continuous engineering improvements across Astoria's Service and Utility Truck Body product lines, we're dedicated to bringing you the best in the business.

Again, thank you for your business and support of our Company. We're excited to serve you in the months and year ahead. Please don't hesitate to contact me directly with any questions.

Best wishes,

Scott Metzger / General Manager
