Industry Game-Changer?
One last time...I cut work on Friday afternoon to go boating in the warm sun and perfect 18 degree temperatures. What a summer we have had in Ontario!
Late in the afternoon, we got the announcement that Mercury Marine has announced that its parent company, Brunswick Corporation has acquired Payne's Marine Supply Inc. The release said that Payne's Marine reported revenue of more than CAD $22 million in 2015 and we know they have strong distribution channels. Will this be a game-changer for the industry? It certainly strengthens the Mercury Marine / Land'N'Sea presence in Canada.
With big outboards enjoying a popularity level that exceeds anything we have ever seen before, building that parts and accessory side looks like another great move.
