Longworth Industries, manufacturer and distributor of Polarmax and Opedix, had added two new rep groups in the Eastern U.S. and Great Lakes region. Robb Sport is handling the southeast and Wentz & Associates will take over the Great Lakes region.


“These two groups of talented reps have the relationships and experience to give the Longworth brands a great boost in these key strategic areas for us,” said Roger Maxey, national sales director for Longworth Industries. “Their proven track record of opening doors and strategic planning gave us the confidence that they can not only get the job done, but really take it to the next level.”

Handling Polarmax and Opedix from Florida to Virginia, Robb Sport represents some of the strongest brands in the industry including CamelBak, EuroSock, Seirus, Timex, and Yakima. The Robb Sport team consists of Rob Robinson, Elliott Hardin, Dan Williams, and Bill Kendall.

 

“Polarmax and Opedix help the retailers better manage their inventory dollars by offering outstanding in season availability and margin.  In addition to being sewn our backyard here in North Carolina, they also give the retailers the flexibility to run their business smarter and leaner. We feel that is especially important in today’s environment,” said Rob Robinson.


Wentz & Associates is comprised of team members Rob and Sandra Wentz and Todd Hershey, who are handling Polarmax in Ohio, Michigan and Indiana. Rob and his crew bring over two decades of sales experience and Great Lakes living to the Polarmax brand. “Polarmax helps round out the assortment that I can offer an account. We’re also very excited to have another 'Made in the USA' line to go along with Wigwam. That’s been a big story for our territory,” said Wentz, principal and owner of the Wentz & Accosciates.
