Fountain WorldwideT Appoints Dealer in South Korea
November 1, 2007 – Busan, South Korea

Fountain Worldwide™ announced that they have signed Power Marine of Busan S. Korea as an authorized sales and service center. An established marine dealer for 18 years in S. Korea, Power Marine has built a solid reputation as a high-end luxury yacht sales and service center. The company is already converting interest in Fountain products into sales as they have recently placed a retail order for a Fountain 38 Center Console to be ready for delivery by early December.

The CEO for Power Marine, Hak-Chul Kim will be visiting the Fountain factory in Washington, NC for an in-depth product orientation and construction overview with Fountain Worldwide™. This is an important step in developing a complete understanding and trust in the Fountain product and we are pleased to assist Mr. Kim,” commented Craig. D. Wilson, President of Fountain Worldwide™.

Fountain Worldwide™ leveraged their relationship with the North Carolina Dept. of Commerce to help bring this partnership with Power Marine together.  By communicating through Sung-Hoon Bae, a NC Dept. of Commerce Foreign Trade Representative stationed in Seoul, the two parties were able to quickly build the trust and rapport essential to a partnership of this type.  

“We are happy to begin our push into Asia with such a strong and well-respected organization such as Power Marine. Their reputation and excellent location will prove invaluable as both parties work together to introduce the Fountain brand to this ever-expanding market.”, commented Tim McSwiney, Director of Business Development for Fountain Worldwide™.
