(St. Petersburg, FL – August 10, 2005). Jim Alley, president and CEO of Profile Racing, Inc., announced today that Sam and Steve Stobart and Profile Racing Europe have been selected as exclusive distributor for Profile Racing BMX/MTB components in Europe. The territory will include the United Kingdom, Belgium, Holland, Sweden, Norway, Spain, Portugal and Latvia. Germany distribution of Profile Racing bicycle components will continue through Country Bikes in Munich. Profile Racing Europe has been a Profile Racing Warranty/Service Center for Europe since 2002 allowing Profile Racing customers in Europe to take advantage of Profile Racing’s Lifetime Limited Warranty on cranksets without having to send their component back to the United States. Over the past three years, Profile Racing Europe has extensively promoted and continually increased their Profile Racing component inventory and sales.
In making the announcement, Mr. Alley, said, “We’ve know Steve Stobart since the 80s when he and his son, Sam, first started BMXing. Over the years, we’ve come to know Steve and Sam even better, with their frequent visits to the factory here in St. Petersburg, Florida and Steve’s management our race/freestyle team in the UK . We’ve developed a mutual trust and confidence over the years. It is a natural progression, with our products becoming more in demand in Europe, that we take this step in naming Profile Racing Europe our exclusive distributor. The move will make Profile Racing’s BMX/ MTB components easier to obtain with faster delivery in Europe. We look forward to a bright future with Profile Racing Europe and their new status.â€?
Steve Stobart is a partner of Profile Racing Europe and has been distributing Profile Racing components for about three years. He had this to say about the appointment, “Sam and I are very excited at this new opportunity. We would like to thank Jim Alley for his faith in our company and everyone at Profile Racing for all their hard work in meeting our demands. Jim asked if we would become a Service and Warranty Centre for Europe in a meeting in January 2002. Three and a half years later Profile Racing Europe has evolved from a Service Centre to a full European Distribution Centre. We carry extensive stocks of all Profile Racing products and can fulfill most orders for next day delivery. Sam and I are looking forward to the expansion that this new appointment will bring and to the continuing success of the Profile Racing family.�
