Sonartec Golf Adds Two New International Distributors Contact Jon Claffey CARLSBAD, Calif. (April 24, 2003) - Two international distributors in Canada and Puerto Rico have joined Sonartec Golf as part of the major strides the young company is making to meet the growing demand and popularity of their products around the world. Erikson Golf, a division of JAM industries, will distribute Sonartec Golf clubs to the Canadian market. Erikson Golf has coast-to-coast sales coverage in Canada and two state-of-the-art warehouse facilities in Montreal and Vancouver to ensure quality sales and customer service with timely product distribution. Sonartec will be a key strategic brand for Erikson Golf and they anticipate strong acceptance of the Sonartec brand by the Canadian golf consumer. Erikson Golf has a strong marketing plan in place that will increase the awareness of the brand in Canada and will give Canadian golfers the opportunity to try Sonartec's tour proven products. First Products Inc. will handle the distribution of Sonartec Golf clubs into Puerto Rico. Lemuel Beauchamp, President of First Products Inc., believes the innovative technology of the clubs is what sets Sonartec apart from the rest of the industry. "We were looking for a breakthrough product that gives the serious golfer a competitive edge and we found it in Sonartec," said Beauchamp. "Golf needed a real innovation. We have been seeing clubs get bigger, lighter, more forgiving, but these companies have forgotten that besides these features, the committed golfer wants performance and playability. Innovations like these really make the difference." The growing demand Sonartec Golf is receiving on their high-end, high-performance clubs has sparked the need for major worldwide distribution for the young, startup company based in Carlsbad, CA. Sonartec currently has distribution networks established in Australia, Taiwan, Sweden, Spain and the Philippines and plans to form a distribution chain across the globe. Sonartec Golf recorded their highest monthly revenues during March and enjoyed their best first quarter sales in company history. Sonartec Golf, maker of premium drivers, fairway woods and utility woods, had over 1,200 clubs in play by 186 players on the PGA Tour during 2002 and has ranked as high as third in the Darrell Survey fairway wood count on the 2003 PGA Tour. Sonartec's professional staff includes 3-time Major Championship winner and company advisor Nick Price (http://www.sonartec.com/page.cfm?content=nickprice), 7 -time PGA Tour winner Bill Glasson (http://www.sonartec.com/page.cfm?content=billglasson) and PGA Tour up-and-comer Cliff Kresge (http://www.sonartec.com/page.cfm?content=cliffkresge ). |
