(AmmoLand.com) Signature Products Group (SPG) announces the move of Geoff Maki to position of Director of Sales overseeing their all-new Hand Tools category.
For the last year, Geoff served as SPG’s Category Manager for the Backpack and Eyewear programs. Prior to employment with SPG in the spring of 2014, Geoff served a 23-year career in the Air Force as an F-16 fighter pilot, retiring as a Colonel. He graduated from the United States Air Force Academy with a Bachelor’s degree in Astronautical Engineering. He also holds a Masters of Aeronautical Science from Embry-Riddle and a Master of Science in Management from the Air Force Institute of Technology. Geoff’s career led him to serving in multiple locations around the Continental US, Korea, Germany, and combat tours in support of Operation JOINT ENDEAVOR and Operation IRAQI FREEDOM.
In 2015, SPG purchased the Black Rhino brand, well-respected within the tool industry for its focus on high quality and value. In addition, SPG holds the exclusive camouflage hand tool license for both Realtree and Mossy Oak. SPG will feature Black Rhino tools in both Mossy Oak and Realtree and they will produce separate lines of Mossy Oak and Realtree branded camouflage tools in 2015.
“I am thrilled to be a part of SPG’s newest exciting initiative,” says Maki. “SPG now owns a great brand in Black Rhino and enjoys the continued support of our strong partners at Mossy Oak and Realtree, who have offered us exclusives in the hand tool category – the next several years are going to be a great ride as we grow this business!”
