Press Release, FEB 13th, 2013:
Foreign Distributors Seeking American Brands at Miami Int'l Boat Show

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

The Miami International Boat Show attracts more than the local boating enthusiast. Marine part distributors from the Caribbean, Central America and South America will fall upon the Miami Beach Convention Center on February 14th-18th looking for American manufacturers and their products. Manufacturers often prefer to use a representative such as E&P Marinefor international sales because they are familiar with distributors, logistics and speak their language.

Lilly Diaz, VP OpsDistributors can range from large scale distribution networks to a sole store on the banks of the Amazon serving 200 miles of river. Lilly Diaz, VP of Operations for E&P Marine in Miami says "We're thrilled to see our customers in our backyard because we're so used to meeting them in their country of origin." "This year I'm looking forward to meeting up with Kiero from Argentina, they buy Perko hardware and navigation lights, as well as Veethree instruments and boat trailer accessories from Dutton Lainson. Powerboat Marine from Puerto Rico buys Ritchie Navigation compasses, JJ Marino from Columbia and IBC from Santo Domingo will both purchase Sudbury Boat Care products, Ferreteria Zaragoza from Mexico is always interested in Samson Rope. Oh, and Baron from Argentina wants to buy port lights and hatches made by HiTide Manufacturing." The list goes on and on. Demand is strong for quality items, especially marine products that have to withstand harsh environments. E&P Marine expects to meet with over 70 manufacturers from overseas at the show.

It's not only distributors looking for U.S. manufacturers, it's also foreign boat manufacturers (aka OEMs) looking for parts to install on their vessels. E&P Marine represents a wide assortment of marine products; practically everything that goes on a leisure boat.

This year E&P Marine is offering manufacturers specials specifically for foreign distributors. Specials include free freight on Dock Edge products, discounts on Ritchie compasses, Jim Black port lights, HiTide hatches, and Sudbury boat care products.

As a proud member of the National Marine Manufacturers Association, who are dedicated to advocating the strength of marine manufacturing, the sales and service networks of its members. and the boating lifestyle, E&P Marine participates in trade shows around the world with a solid reputation.

E&P Marine will be at the Ritchie Navigation booth M70 at the Miami International Boat Show. Save on sellect products Download Show Specials Brochure Press Release, NOV 12th, 2012:
New Running Rigging Lines from Samson Rope Meet High Tech Demand

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Samson, the worldwide leader in performance rope, is introducing two new lines to its portfolio of high tech sail rigging; Smooth Ice and Control-DPX™. These products were developed with input and testing of high end riggers and competitive racers.

Control-DPX™ combines Dyneema® fiber and Samson’s patented DPX™ technology into a strong, lightweight line designed to offer the grip and easy handling needed in running rigging applications.

DPX™ adds the grip and soft ‘hand’ of spun polyester to the lightweight strength of Dyneema® fiber. The combination creates a line that performs well where winches are required without an added cover, while retaining the feel needed in a mainsheet or guy.

Smooth Ice is the newest member of Samson’s Flavored Ice family of running rigging protection system. Like the rest of the Ice family, Smooth Ice provides protection from heat build-up, but this cover-only construction combines Dyneema®, Technora®, and polyester fibers for exceptional protection from abrasion inherent of running rigging; especially around jammers and winches and through cleats. Smooth Ice is color-coded and designed to be used with Samson’s high-performance, single braided ropes.

Samson’s newest recreational marine products continue to set the standard for high performance and can be trusted as a safe and secure application around the boat. Samples of these lines can be seen up close at METS 2012 in the E&P Marine stand 11.315.

News Release November 17th, 2010:
Perko and E & P Marine Present Top Distributor Award at METS

By IBI Magazine

US marine equipment manufacturer Perko and manufacturer's representative E&P Marine Inc awarded Brazilian distributor Regatta with Perko's first ever Top Distributor award at METS this week in Amsterdam.

The presentation took place on Tuesday at Perko's stand and celebrates 28 years of collaboration.

"We've been working with Regatta for almost 30 years," said Perko's vice president of marketing George Bellwoar. "This is the first time we've presented this award. We've never had good reason to before. It's very rare for us to do something like this."

Perko manufactures a wide range of marine equipment from deck hardware to navigation lights at its Miami facility.

"Some distributors struggle to carry a broad selection of Perko products, but Regatta carries a wide range. We're proud to have them as a distributor."

Regatta founder Paulo Veloso began the company with his business partner 28 years ago. The distributor has 10 retail stores - with plans for two more to open next year - and supplies both the boatbuilder and end user, even selling boats.

"We've really seen the Brazilian marine industry develop," said Veloso. "The boom in Brazil is not as profound as everyone says it is, but compared with the crash felt in other countries then Brazil is doing very well. After a dip in 2009 we're already back up to 2008 levels, which was a fantastic year."

Vice president of E&P Marine Miguel Vasallo has seen an increase in the number of American companies looking to export since the crisis.

"We used to only represent US manufacturers in the Caribbean and in South America, but two years ago our representation went worldwide," says Vasallo. "The Pacific Ring is doing well, Australia in particular, and the Middle East is still very interesting."
