Announcement

Latin America and Caribbean Sales Offices

 

 

Effective Friday, September 17th, 2004, the Latin American and Caribbean sales operations for Land ‘N’ Sea will relocate to Mercury Marine’s Latin America and Caribbean headquarters located in Miramar, Florida.

 

This move is part of Brunswick’s continued strategy to grow the rapid delivery capabilities of Land ‘N’ Sea geographically and leverage Mercury’s distribution infrastructure in Latin America, which consists of local branch operations in Mexico and Brazil, as well as the LAC headquarters export operation in Miramar.  

 

“This move is part of our strategy to accelerate growth in the region. By leveraging the in-country warehousing facilities of Mercury Marine LAC, as well as their extensive in-country sales force, we feel we can provide our customers with improved customer service and more frequent visits. This opportunity will also allow us to service the general marine supply needs of local government agencies, a channel previously not available to Land’N’Sea.” stated Tom Schuessler, Chief Operating Officer of Land ‘N’ Sea.

 

“Initially, it will be business as usual for the Land ‘N’ Sea customers, with product being shipped from Land ‘N’ Sea’s Pompano Beach distribution Center.  However, by early 2005, it is our intention to supplement this with in-country service from our facilities in Mexico and Brazil.  Customers of both Land ‘N’ Sea and Mercury Marine will benefit from this transition, as they will now have the ability to place one order with one vendor for all their marine P&A needs, whether that be engine parts or boating accessories.  We will continue to leverage Land ‘N’ Sea’s exclusive Seachoice brand of boating accessories, as well as handle all product lines currently sold by Land ‘N’ Sea in the region,” stated Charley Flores, General Manager, Mercury Marine LAC.

 

The Latin America and Caribbean sales team will be contacting dealers to answer any questions and provide additional information.
