Meopta Hires Mountain States Sports Marketing

TAMPA, FL  – Meopta USA Sport Optics has hired Mountain States Sports Marketing (MSSM) as its sales agency for the Western 13 states – AK, HI, WA, MT, OR, ID, WY, CA, NV, UT, CO, AZ and NM.   This addition to the Meopta team is part of the company’s ongoing strategic growth initiative for North America.

“Brad Ruddell and his team have an outstanding reputation in our industry, and we are excited to have them represent Meopta,” said Randy Garrison, Director of Meopta USA Sport Optics. “Given their work ethic and extensive relationships in these territories, we are confident that Mountain States Sports Marketing will increase our brand awareness and dealer base in these Western states.”

Mountain States Sports Marketing was established in 1984 and has been owned and actively managed by Brad Ruddell since 2010. 

“When we consider a brand to represent, it's a two-part decision process for us. Can we sell the products and does the management team know where it needs to go? In this case, we are confident in both,” said Brad Ruddell, President of Mountain States Sports Marketing.  “Our agency believes that Meopta is positioned for strong growth in the American market because of their U.S. ownership, new leadership, European quality and unheard-of prices for this quality level.  The fact that Meopta just lowered all of their retail prices for 2018 makes the program even better.”
