Bell Canoe Works recently announced construction of its
new plant. However, there are other significant developments in Bell
production.

The big news is Bell’s new production manager, Chris Gibbs. Gibbs, former
manager and buyer for Duluth Pack Store in Duluth MN, accepted the position
shortly before August’s Outdoor Retailer Show. Gibbs subsequently attended
the Show in Salt Lake City to meet Bell dealers and get a vendor’s
perspective. Gibbs will oversee all composite and Royalex manufacturing
operations for Bell as the company transitions to its new facility.
