According to John Pierandozzi, president and chief operating officer, “The increase in sales was to due to several factors, number one being public acceptance of and demand for our new series of Tsunami drivers and fairway woods which are selling through at the retail level.” “Additionally,” he said, “we launched selected new marketing efforts in support of our key customer accounts.”
Peter H. Pocklington, chairman, added, “We continue to be very enthusiastic about our next generation of forged titanium-insert Tsunami drivers, the 360cc and the 400cc. We look to increase our revenues by expanding our brands and product offerings and instituting new marketing efforts, including a national TV advertising campaign.”
