StatPacks Picked for Galls Catalog

Washington, Utah – September 23, 2003 – StatPacks, a rising player in the EMS equipment market, has reached a distribution agreement with Galls that will take its innovative packs and accessories to a larger audience and put the Utah-based start-up firmly on the EMS map.

“With two pages in the Galls catalog, we can reach more EMS professionals in one quick shot than we ever could by trying to sell this product direct,” said StatPacks sales director Mike Blosser. “Their support instantly gives us brand recognition and prevents a more established brand from knocking off our ideas.”

Ideas are what StatPacks is all about. Its product designs fuse the comfort and innovations of today’s sports-mountaineering equipment with practical ideas born on the front lines of real EMS experience.

“StatPacks are to traditional EMS bags what suitcases were before that bright someone put wheels on them,” said Galls Merchandise Director Frank Cienniwa. “Do you remember traveling like that? Can you imagine going back to that?”

“That is how I felt when I saw the first-generation StatPacks,” Cienniwa said. “It was a ‘eureka’ moment. Now all I see is an industry full of dinosaurs.”

The arrangement is expected to smooth StatPacks’ growth, avoiding the distribution challenges that face many new companies.

“Galls can get our product out to the end user faster than we could,” Blosser said. “We're just mainlining right into a distribution network and system that's already set up. Simply put, Galls is a massive company with an established operation. StatPacks is just coming out of the gate. But this sure gives us a head start.”
