RYMAX MARKETING SERVICES: a national manufacturer’s representative in the incentive industry, has formed an exclusive partnership with Warrantech, a provider of warranty products and administrative services. Warrantech offers service contracts and after-market warranties on consumer electronics and computer peripherals, among other items, to distributors and manufacturers. “Consumer electronics make up the majority of incentive program redemptions,” said Randy Toth, new business development manager at Rymax. “It only makes sense to partner with a company that can provide extended warranties on our most popular rewards.”
