Business news : US, BSN Sports Acquires Kohlmyer Sporting Goods

BSN Sports has completed the acquisition of Kohlmyer Sporting Goods, headquartered near Cleveland, OH.   Kohlmyer’s, family owned and operated since 1964, is the leading distributor of team apparel and equipment throughout Northern Ohio. Prior to this acquisition, Kohlmyer’s was a member of the Sports Inc. Buying Group and TAG Buying Group.

“We are thrilled to welcome the men and women of Kohlmyer’s to the BSN SPORTS family”, said Adam Blumenfeld, the company’s Chairman and CEO. “Mike Molnar and team are everything we look for in business partners. Their commitment to service, excellence and growth is a perfect cultural fit with the 360+ sales professionals we have across the country. We look forward to continued expansion throughout the Great Lakes region and beyond.”

"Kohlmyer has been a staple in northern Ohio team sports for more than 50 years”, said Mike Molnar, owner of Kohlmyer’s Sporting Goods.  “It gives me great pleasure, on behalf of my family and our employees, to join a team as passionate and committed to the local community as is BSN SPORTS. We had many choices when considering how to take the next step forward. It is refreshing to find such a like-minded organization … one committed to the same values of integrity, teamwork and resourcefulness that served as the bedrock of our company for multiple generations."

Blumenfeld concluded: “With the addition of Kohlmyer’s, we have acquired six terrific companies in the last twelve months and added more than 130 sales professionals to the Best Supply Network in Sports. This said, we at BSN SPORTS aim to deliver a lot more than sporting goods. Our goal is to elevate the experience for all student – athletes, and to enhance school spirit and pride in hometowns and communities everywhere. We are nothing without our fantastic people and their dedication to deliver this “Greater Good”. The creation of this Network would be impossible without the tireless efforts of Tevis Martin, our Executive Vice President; Bob Dickman – Sr. Vice President and Director of Acquisitions; Michael Caravati – Vice-President and Director of Recruiting, and the numerous support and transition teams that make it all happen without missing a beat. The Kohlmyer team will be integrated into our Northeastern Region, under the leadership of Vice-President  Steve Eybers. We continue to seek valuable team-mates across the USA in places like Oregon, Nevada, California and Washington; the Mountain States; Texas, Mississippi, Missouri, Kansas, West Virginia, Ohio, New York, Florida, Pennsylvania and Tennessee. We will continue to focus on partners that share our values and have a passion for building lifelong relationships with customers.”
