Ipico Sports Announces Agreement With IPax Solutions
Company will distribute running and multi-sport solutions to U.S. Market
Peoria, Ill.—IPICO Sports has announced an agreement with IPax Solutions (www.ipaxsolutions.com) for the sales and distribution of IPICO Sports automated tracking and timing solutions for running and multi-sport market segments in the United States. The companies will work together to penetrate all levels of both target market segments, providing turnkey solutions and strong customer support.
IPICO Sports’ next-generation tracking and timing solutions are used in the global active sports and wellness markets. Since an initial market introduction in March 2007, IPICO Sports (www.ipicosports.com) has shipped to 14 different countries and continues to develop a loyal following in the U.S. market. IPICO Sports’ systems were successfully used in May 2007 at the BolderBOULDER 10 Km running race, one of the world’s top five largest running events.
IPax Solutions President, Mike Ducy, a long-time event timer, said he is excited by the opportunity to offer IPICO Sports solutions to everyone in the market—including timers, events, clubs and schools. “We believe that our long-time experience from a user’s standpoint, combined with IPICO Sports solutions, will allow us to quickly penetrate the market and support areas that until now have only been exposed to manual data capture solutions,” Ducy said. “We have had the opportunity to preview the company’s long-term product development roadmap and feel that the market will continue to enjoy new and innovative solutions over the coming years.”
IPICO Sports CEO, Mark Herbst, also is pleased with the partnership. “We believe our combined team will truly benefit the active sports market at all levels in the U.S.,” Herbst said. “The fact that Mike’s organization has a combined 60+ years of experience in this industry will bring a high degree of credibility and insight into our current and future value propositions. This expertise will allow him to leverage his past experiences into providing unique and superior solutions to all segments within the running and multi-sport markets.” |
