At BTI, we are so blessed with many great things during the last few years in our business and our family.  With the addition of two locations, one in Ness City and the other in Pratt, we have more than doubled both the size of our territory and our family of employees.  We currently have 128 on staff and will soon add 14 more with our new John Deere Place facility in Pratt.  That store is scheduled to open by the spring of 2011.

We have the new JD Place facility at BTI Greensburg up and running now. We had our grand opening in May 2009 with hundreds of customers, friends, and company personnel that helped BTI Greensburg get back on the map. It was a wonderful event, and the day truly showed us how blessed the BTI family has been with great relationships. The building is state of the art and is the only LEED Platinum facility of its kind.  We now give daily tours of the facility and have become a pilot for John Deere dealerships around the world. BTI is now the model of building and teaching sustainability with energy conservation at the highest level. We continue to raise the bar for our high level of service and value you have come to expect from the BTI family at all locations.

We now have added another division to our network with BTI, Wind Energy LLC. We opened a new headquarters for the business on the west side of BTI Greensburg.  Up to six employees will lead the renewable energy side of our business that focuses on saving energy costs now and well into the future. BTI Wind will provide outstanding sales, service, and support to keep energy costs low for our valued customers. We are also integrating these products into the agricultural side of our business. Farmers can steer advanced AMS equipment that is installed on turbine towers, receiving standard service maintenance agreements for all products.

I personally want to thank all of our customers and friends for their loyalty and support during all of our past three years. Although we are still overcoming a very serious disaster, we will always realize our company also depends on your continued support.

Sincerely,

Kelly J Estes

President, BTI Inc.
