emington has successfully emerged from Chapter 11 Bankruptcy Protection in the USA. The move bolsters its UK distributor, Raytrade UK, as it continues to grow its business in the UK. Steve Kelly, sales manager for Raytrade UK, told T&G: “This is a huge step for Remington and its future. Now with sound fi nancial foundations Remington can move forward developing and producing quality products for its customers around the world. There have been no issues with our distribution while Remington has restructured, but understandably some dealers have been a little cautious. The news from America will go a long way to rectify the matter.” Raytrade has been busy gaining new distribution brands to add to its already signifi cant portfolio, picking up Chapuis - ROLS, Chiappa, HEYM and
GPO Optics. Steve continued: “It’s been a busy few weeks for us here. We’ve picked up the distribution of some top brands for the UK and Ireland and are now working on our expansion into Ireland with these new brands.” For the UK market the newly
acquired brands fi t well with our existing Remington Outdoor products (Remington, Marlin, Barnes, Dakota, Nesika & Bushmaster) and fi ll many gaps. The result is that we now have a complete and concise portfolio and coupled with our excellent backup service, we have a great offering for our dealers.” Look out for an interview with Steve Kelly on the growth of Raytrade UK in next month’s issue.
