WaterRower, Inc., the designer and manufacturer of rowing machines and fitness equipment, has acquired rowing and omni-channel fitness brand, CityRow, following a partnership in place between the two companies since CityRow’s founding in 2014.
“This acquisition is a significant step in our mission to deliver the best products to our clients worldwide,” said Peter King, CEO, WaterRower and Nohrd. “This brand complements our almost 40 years of rowing manufacturing and global distribution as well as our Nohrd brand of strength and performance products.
