Post-Christmas ProDec patch-up

As the holiday season grows ever closer, yet again all eyes are on Santa delivering his annual superhuman feat of ensuring shipping fulfilment is met on the evening of the 24th for all kids around the globe.

It’s a mammoth effort, for sure. But what no one really takes into consideration is the impact that hugely demanding and bustling night has on the general wear and tear around the operation centre and equipment in the North Pole.

Thankfully, we’re optimistic that ProDec has everything needed for Santa and his devoted workforce to ensure that things are up and running well before the very first list arrives for Christmas mission 2025.

Sleigh spruce-up

As Santa’s faithful mode of transport covers over 40 million miles during that one evening – and in all weather conditions – it’s clear that it takes something of a battering. Fortunately, our assortment of abrasives will help with priming that mangled sleigh before the inevitable paint job.

Once the post box red gloss paint has been sourced, the ProDec Angle Oval paint brush will not only provide the ultimate finish for Santa, but it will also offer a smooth and effortless means of cutting in around the sleigh’s ornate gold trim.

The 2” Ice Fusion Micro Rollers will be handier than a red-nosed reindeer in a blizzard when it comes to repainting and touching up those fiddly, twisty sections of the sleigh blade.

Stepping up to offer an elfing hand

Those army of elves work tirelessly and non-stop in December to ensure every gift is picked and packed, ready for delivery. That inevitable restocking of goods is never an easy proposition, particularly for those vertically challenged workers.

While Santa’s workshop, assembly line and warehouse storage facility have been largely designed to accommodate his diminutive workforce, the reality is that everyone of all sizes needs the occasional help with the hard-to-reach stuff.

With that in mind, our range of access solutions will undoubtedly assist in many locations, offering a much-need lift.

While our hop-ups and workstands are handy if you need to reach a little further, our fibreglass and aluminium stepladders go up to almost two metres, meaning those top shelf toys will be now be a breeze to grab and load up on the conveyor.

The Click & Climb telescopic ladder extends even further – to almost four metres – meaning the days of elves balancing precariously on multiple pairs of shoulders will be a thing of the past. The North Pole elf and safety manager may be collecting his/her P45, however.

Reindeer pen renovation

It’s entirely fair to say those hard-working creatures have the most physically demanding job of the evening. They deserve the lion’s share of affection and appreciation on returning to the North Pole that morning of 25th as a mark of respect and acknowledgement for the leg (hoof?) work they’ve put in.

Again, the Ice Fusion 2” Micro and 4” Mini Rollers are just the trick to brighten up those pen fence panels as a show of gratitude to those nine antlered employees. The elves will be able to reach every nook and cranny with these versatile little rollers, and they’ll get the closest to a spray finish that’s achievable with a roller, getting extra kudos for their work from Santa.

And to ensure Santa’s loyal sleigh drivers remain paint splat free during the job at hand, ProDec Advance Super Cling dust sheets are statically charged, meaning they will easily cling to a resting reindeer.

General North Pole HQ maintenance

The key to getting a good head start with a painting and decorating job is putting in the right amount of preparation. But the end clean up shouldn’t be glossed over, either. ProDec has a huge assortment of goods to help with maintenance and tidy up time, all available from your local North Pole branch of Selc-ho ho ho and all other popular trade merchants.

Brooms to sweep up reindeer pellets? No problem. Masses of refuse sacks for that mountain of surplus gift wrap? Step right up.

In truth, ProDec has never been shy in demonstrating a love of Christmas. It’s clear through our choice of brand colours, but two of our products were designed specifically to coordinate with the Kris Kringle look.

One glance at the ProDec 1 litre Handi-Pail Paint Kettle and ProDec 500ml Flexible Mixing Bowl, and it’s clear they were made to sit in the hands of that jolly big guy while he made the necessary repairs to his North Pole residence.
