JACKSONVILLE, Fla., Dec. 6, 2007 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- Mariner's Choice International Inc. (Pink Sheets:MCII) has signed an agreement with an established manufacturers' representative agency, Hoffmann Sports Inc., in California, which gives Mariner's Choice (MC) representation along the entire U.S. west coast.
Hoffmann Sports Inc., a family-run business, was established in 1964. The Company has been involved with outdoor products for over forty years, representing such known companies as Sevylor USA, Century Outdoors, Swimline, Wham-O, H2o Audio, Misty Mate, Lodge Cast Iron, Ingear, and TEARepair & GAME. Hoffmann is well-entrenched in the outdoor product industry, and their established network of distributors and retailers will stand in good stead for MC.
Their ability to impact sales activities for MC was put to the test, and they have successfully presented MC product line to Marine One, a buying group representing 14 major distributors in the U.S. and Canada. Due to their efforts, MC participated at the Marine One dealer show which took place in Las Vegas last month. "We are extremely pleased that MC has been accepted by Marine One to take part in their semi-annual dealer event in Las Vegas. It is one of the most esteemed events for the industry. The vendors particularly look forward to this event because it is an order writing show," states Peter Hoffman, of Hoffmann Sports.
MC has indeed received orders at the event from U.S. and Canadian distributors, and although there's no guarantee, it is anticipated that the addition of Hoffmann Sports to the sales team could impact MC revenue significantly over the next 12 months.
