Liquidmetal Technologies Inc. and Rawlings Sporting Goods announced that they will extend their partnership with a new 3-year exclusive contract to manufacture and market the Liquidmetal line of high performance baseball bats. This agreement will extend the initial partnership established in 2002.
“We are very excited about the extension and continuation of our partnership with Liquidmetal. As a result of this partnership, we have been able to effectively combine innovation and performance in our bat product line,” said Scott Siebers, Rawlings Product Director.
The latest creation stemming from the Rawlings and Liquidmetal partnership is the new Plasma Fusion bat, which fuses the latest in composite and metal technologies. The Fusion is the fourth in the generation of Rawlings bats to utilize Liquidmetal(R) Technology (Liquidmetal, Liquidmetal 2, Plasma, and Plasma Fusion). This is the first; however, to introduce composite technologies to the formula.
Top-ranked collegiate programs, including Tulane University, University of California-Irvine, and the University of Virginia, will be among the first to swing the Fusion this spring.
