What types of things should we expect from you
and your company in 2014?
Dennis Tippmann Jr (tippmann Sports): The obvious one is the acquisition of Tippmann by G.I. Sportz which will bring the two companies together to become a one-stop shop for everything our dealers
and fields will need. We will provide the best paintballs, best markers,
best goggles, and best service, all from one company. Our product
lines match up perfectly. There is very little overlap of the two product
lines and players will continue to see both the GI Sportz and Tippmann
brands as they are today. This also brings the ownership of Tippmann
back into paintball, which is great for our sport and the industry. Richmond Italia will be our Chairman and CEO and I will continue as President of Tippmann Sports.
Gino Postorivo (Valken): Our team feels like were mastering the rental
gun market. We now have more than 5,000 sku’s (products) in stock and
our Meta high end scenario markers will be out in late spring 2014..
Eric Engler (Engler Custom Paintball Guns): You should see us to con-
tinue to produce custom markers for people as we have for the last 10
years. It is the thing we love to do the most, to watch a player see a creation we have made for them for the first time is just an incredible experience and I never tire of it. You will also see us develop more designs
for the growing magazine-fed marker player. From the TiPX to the Tacamo conversions for the Tippm
