He has enjoyed unbridled success in his primary business endeavors, utilizing technology much of which he developed and pioneered. industria de recubrimientos de poliuretano y productos químicos. Juan Carlos moved to the United States in 1993 at the young age of 23, looking for opportunities to expand the use and application of protective coatings and other chemical products. With an educational background in Marketing, he decided it was time to break into the American market and chose Houston as his base of operations. El éxito de Juan Carlos, se ha basado en el esfuerzo y constante desarrollo en el marcado de los recubrimientos del cual fue uno de los pioneros. Juan Carlos emigro a los Estados Unidos en 1993, a la temprana edad de 23 años, en busca de oportunidades para expandir el uso y la aplicación de recubrimiento de poliuretano y otros productos químicos. Con una formación académica en Marketing, decidió que era el momento de desarrollar el mercado americano y eligió Houston, como su base de operaciones. - FOR TH E BEST | The W o odl a nds - 15 HOBBY & BUSINESS | NEGOCIO Y AFICIÓN Juan Carlos was one of the first innovators in the US market of spray-on truck bedliners and his product and efforts had an immediate impact on the regional truck accessory market, due to the innovative use of coating technology and its application methods. The regional success launched a corporate expansion, in application centers for the product throughout the U.S. and throughout the world. In 2006, Juan Carlos pioneered the use of cartridge based spray systems to apply the bedliners and remains the leading provider of this technology. Partnering with Rhino Linings ®, the world’s leading brand, the RhinoProTM Cartridge System dramatically simplified the method of application of the bedliner and lowered the cost of application. The continuous technological innovation and development gave birth to a new business platform, the use of a fully equipped van to bring the application process to the dealer as opposed to the dealer sending the trucks out to a fixed facility for the installation of the bedliner. The RhinoProTM Mobile platform changed the landscape of this business. The truck dealerships are seeing large overall savings and a reduction in liability, by having the application process, come directly to their dealership and apply the bed liner onsite with a portable workstation. Each of the vans is fully equipped to arrive at a dealership and, within minutes, be fully operational. The vans have an inflatable work station that is portable and easy to set-up, literally in under 5 minutes. The truck beds are prepared and sprayed and the mobile application equipment is dismantled in 16 - F OR T HE BE ST | The W oodl ands - a matter of minutes and the van then moves on to the next dealership. Dealerships no longer have to send the trucks out or have a dedicated service bay for the application. The bedliner market has been waiting for this “we come to you” service. The company’s substantial growth profile, coupled with Juan Carlos’ strategic alliance with partners, has positioned them as the number one spray-on bedliner company in the world. An important part of RHINO PROTM’s high level marketing strategy is its presence as sponsors in the major auto racing series in the country such as NASCAR. In addition, there is vast marketing budget to continue to develop and maintain brand recognition as well as an array of POS material provided to the dealer. Juan Carlos’ most recent business innovation provides the perfect platform for opportunities for foreign investors seeking a US visa. Juan Carlos’ vision of utilizing the Mobile platform as a potential investment opportunity for individuals seeking E-2 visa-type investments is rapidly becoming a high demand business opportunity. Foreign citizens are purchasing the fully equipped vans, with assigned territories, fully trained application personnel and all required licenses. This, as well as the fact that all administrative services and day-to-day van management remain the responsibility of a management company and are centrally addressed, free-up the investors to direct the enterprise from a Director’s level perspective.
