Johnson Health Tech, Inc., manufacturer of Matrix Fitness, Vision Fitness, Horizon Fitness and LIVESTRONG Fitness equipment, said its second-quarter sales accounted for a gain of 29% worldwide over the corresponding 2009 time period. In North America, sales for the second quarter improved by 26%.
“Much of our domestic growth can be attributed to a continued investment in sales support, marketing and product development,” said Nathan Pyles, President of Johnson Health Tech North America.
The boost was derived primarily from heightened sales in the company’s commercial channel, up 65% over the previous year. Pyles attributed much of the commercial growth to new product offerings. Worldwide, the Johnson commercial channel has experienced 50% YTD growth.
“Our concentrated efforts to build the JHT brand portfolio globally and our international business development has resulted in tremendous growth, both worldwide and in the domestic commercial channel,” stated Mark Zabel, Vice President Global Marketing for Johnson Health Tech (JHT). “We have continued our aggressive investment in new product development, strategic partnerships, new technology and our global marketing campaign which will position JHT for continued growth worldwide throughout 2010.”
