Carlsbad, Calif. – February 18, 2014 – San Diego-based SUPERbrand
Surfboards & Apparel announces a Brazilian manufacturing and
distribution agreement with Wetworks. Under this exclusive agreement,
Wetworks will represent SUPERbrand Surfboards in Brazil, with a strong
focus on building the brand through a core channel strategy.
The entire collection of SUPERbrand Surfboards will be offered in
Brazil, with models subtly tuned to match the region’s unique waves and
the surfers that ride them. SUPERbrand's high product standards will be
maintained thanks to extensive communication and collaboration with its
other world-class factories and shapers in the US, Australia, Portugal
and now Brazil.
“We are very excited to be working with Wetworks to further grow our
business and brand in the Brazilian market in support of our overall
growth strategy,” said Marcelo Bengoechea, SUPERbrand CEO. “We chose
Wetworks based on their proven success in the Brazilian market, along
with including their proven competencies in sales, brand management,
customer service, surfboard production, and operations. We are confident
that our elevated product standards will be continued in Brazil.”
“SUPERbrand has done an incredible job in creating amazing surfboards
with unique graphics and a strong brand DNA through the diverse athletes
they represent, which is a strong foundation to build upon,” said
Ricardo Martins, Wetworks President. “We are looking forward to
developing SUPERbrand and supporting our retail partners to realize the
potential the brand has in Brazil.”
Wetworks is currently manufacturing SUPERbrand boards that will be available in stores starting this month.
