“Cline Associates has been a sales representative for Shell’s Automotive Consumer Products for over 10 years. In that time, they have successfully managed strategic accounts for us such as HT Hackney, JT Davenport, Wilco, The Pantry, Circle K Divisions, Racetrac, Spinx and Mapco while creating incremental distribution of Shell’s Automotive brands. Cline Associates success comes from a detailed understanding of our products, our programs, the category we play in, as well as the business needs of our customers. They represent themselves and us with the professionalism required make us both valuable to our customer base. I would highly recommend them to any company searching for a business partner that will work hard to grow the business.”
BARRY SMITH
NATIONAL ACCOUNTS TEAM LEADER, SHELL OIL PRODUCTS US
“I have been working with Cline Associates throughout the growth of WILCOHESS, and previously worked with Dean Sr while he was in the wholesale business and I was with The Pantry. Their strategy has always been to create a profitable relationship between the retailer and their manufacturers. At WILCOHESS, that is what we desire as well. Cline Associates has maintained a full service strategy with WILCOHESS. This strategy includes the sales side of the business but compliments those efforts with retail support in the stores. Their retail support, through both regular remerchandising efforts and full store resets, is a key reason that we have so many of their lines in our stores. I confidently recommend Cline Associates to any manufacturer looking for a quality company that provides above average sales efforts and operational support.”

“I have been working with Cline Associates for over six years now and am extremely happy with the professionalism of their entire organization. Each one of the account managers I deal with goes above and beyond to manage and grow current business but they also are always looking for “new” business. This year alone they have secured 5 new wholesalers which is a tremendous accomplishment. I would recommend Cline Associates to any manufacturer looking for representation.”
