Union City, Tenn.–Profile Boats announced today it has signed an agreement with Excel Boats USA to license the manufacture and sale of Profile Boats in the USA for distribution into USA, Canada and Mexico.
Initial production will be at the all-new Excel Boats plant based in Union City by the spring of 2020. The boats will be marketed using the Profile Boats name and logo throughout North America.
“We are excited to be able to bring Profile Boats to the North American market. These are unique
boats designed in New Zealand to cope with the toughest seas in the world” according to Glenn
Foreman, CEO of Excel Boats USA. “These boats will be built in the USA to the exacting standards and quality of the Profile Boats brand and will give the North American consumer the option to buy a USA built, aluminium chamber boat”.
“Designed initially as a safer beach launching vessel, the Profile Boats range has developed to
provide craft from family recreation, to seriously good dive and fishing boats, as well as commercial
charter vessels” added Brian Firman Managing Director of Profile Boats. “The inherent safety of the
unique aluminium chamber design offers superior stability and makes all Profile Boats virtually
unsinkable.”
The Excel plant is in the former Vanity Fair building at 601 Sherwood Drive in Union City.
