Epic\u2019s move will benefit the majority of their dealers with a more central location that will better serve their East Coast and Mid-West Dealers, while outbound logistics will also improve by taking advantage of shared shipping to many regions. Epic\u2019s move to Erwin, Tennessee is expected to be completed by the end of February 2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mike Patterson, Operations Director for Pyranha US, Inc. comments, \u201cOur new location has been a perfect fit for Pyranha, so we\u2019re thrilled that Epic will soon be sharing in the spoils. The logistical advantages make this a win-win, with shared warehousing and shipping routes, we expect the ability to fulfill tighter ship windows and keep rates down. We are excited about the future and look forward to working with Epic to strengthen both of our companies.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Says Bruce Poacher, Epic Kayaks Inc. CFO \u201cWe are excited about the <g class=\"gr_ gr_62 gr-alert gr_gramm gr_inline_cards gr_run_anim Punctuation only-del replaceWithoutSep\" id=\"62\" data-gr-id=\"62\">move,<\/g> and are looking forward to sharing Pyranha\u2019s new space with them. In addition to the obvious logistical benefits of cohabitation, we anticipate that the sharing of ideas and the adoption of best practices will benefit both companies as well as their customers.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>About Pyranha US, Inc.<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Over our 50 years of research and development, award-winning designs, world-class expeditions, supporting top-class boaters and expanding to become Europe&#8217;s leading specialist manufacturer of canoes and kayaks, Pyranha still designs in the UK and USA and builds all our boats in Britain.
