Bob Ginthers, The Tri-Plunger

The article on Bob gives detail on Bob’s history, highlighting where he came from and how through the frustrations of his past work, found that he kept running into the same problem. Bob realized that a lot of his clients would fall into a trap that would entail that regular plungers are not doing what people need them to do – work efficiently and solve the plumbing problems that people incur. To solve this, Bob decided to take matters into his own hands and come to Mako with the idea of creating a new type of plunger that will effectively unplug toilets. From this idea Mako helped Bob design the concept of the Tri-Plunger, including creating several prototypes and into production and manufacturing – we also helped him and his invention idea by providing as ales sheet for him for this products marketing,

Success of the Tri-Plunger

The article continues by talking about the success of the Tri-Plunger since it’s release. Since his product has come out Bob so far has sold his project himself through his own personal business with success, he also has his product in co-op stores. Since the release of his invention, he has thus far only received positive feedback how the viability of his product – it actually works and solves the problem that people have with round plungers that don’t do their job! His next goals for his product are to get them being sold at major Co-ops such as Canadian Tires.

We are proud to see all the achievements and success Bob has made with his product invention and wish him the best of success for the future of his products business. We look forward to hearing more great news from the ‘Tri-Plunger’!
