With the NHL Returning to the Ice FinnStar Looks to Continue Growth
Tampa,FL. With the NHL lockout over FinnStar Hockey, a manufacturer of patented ice hockey and sporting goods equipment looks to continue their growth, all fueled by organic growth, solid business practices & dedication to the customer.
Tampa, FL (PRWEB) August 12, 2005 -- Fueled by organic growth, solid business
practices & dedication to the customer FinnStar Hockey looks to add more
than one hundred new retail outlets to their listing of dealers across North
America and Europe. "While we did not notice a downturn in business due to the
NHL lockout this past season and quite contrary we noticed an increase in
dealerships by more than 40% the effect if the lockout was to continue would
have likely started to show it`s ugly head in the next two to three years" said
V.P. of Sales & Marketing Evan J. Andriopoulos of FinnStar. "the effect on
the game and the manufacturers eventually would have been great as the fan`s
interest in hockey would have likely started to fade with another one to two
years of a lockout" followed Andriopoulos.
"Being a little company with
limited overhead we have stayed the course with our very well planned business
model, which is fueled by organic growth, great products and a true dedication
to offering products to players and coaches by our team of former and current
players and coaches. We have focused on Europe where there has been hockey and
we have seen a tremendous volume of growth in Sweden, Norway and Finland. We
have received a tremendous volume of interest from dealers in non-hockey
kingdoms like the United Kingdom and Italy as well" said an energetic
Andriopoulos. Our business model is simple "to create products that enhance
one`s ability to enjoy playing".
FinnStar Hockey has more than 90 retail
outlets in the US, Canada, & in Europe and is a partner of the United Hockey
League, leagues and teams across the globe. Founded in 1995 FinnStar is
celebrating more than 10 years in business. For more information please go to
