Harbinger and Grizzly Fitness announced the signing of a licensing agreement that will see Harbinger begin distributing Grizzly products in the U.S. starting January 1, 2006. This agreement follows up on a previous agreement allowing Grizzly the rights to distribute Harbinger products in Canada that started in January 2005.

“The partnership between Harbinger and Grizzly has been such a success in Canada that it was only natural to respond with a similar partnership here in the U.S.,” said Tim Smith, VP of sales for Harbinger. “Both Harbinger and Grizzly fitness accessories deliver the highest performance and the most outstanding quality with the combined strengths of the two brands will provide U.S. and Canadian fitness consumers with the best workout gear both countries have to offer.”

Harbinger is the number one fitness glove brand in the U.S. and Grizzly leads the Canadian fitness market through excellence in product innovation, development, and quality, offering the best customer service and satisfaction in Canada.

“The Grizzly and Harbinger product lines complement each other very nicely.” says Andrew Riding, general manager of Grizzly Fitness. “Harbinger’s strength in gloves and broad selection of hand exercise accessory items dovetail with Grizzly’s traditional strength in Training Aids. With distribution agreements in both countries, we are poised to be the dominant force in the North American fitness accessories market.”
