There’s a need in the market for better protective gear that we are filling and continuing to fulfill, and the growing demand requires more resources, more research and development, more space, and more commitment.


STRATFORD, Conn. (PRWEB)

FORCE3 Pro Gear, a leader in the protective sports gear industry, launched an exciting new partnership with Susan G. Komen, while unveiling its state-of-the-art facility expansion. The two initiatives helped solidify the company’s leadership role in the industry and commitment to safeguarding good health.

“We are privileged to partner with Susan G. Komen and excited about the role we can play to help the ground-breaking organization save lives and end breast cancer,” said Steven Goldsmith, CEO and President at FORCE3 Pro Gear. “FORCE3 was founded on the principle of protecting people, whether through the manufacture of protective sports gear or by partnering with like-minded organizations such as Susan G. Komen.”

Representatives from the non-profit cancer organization attended the expansion unveiling festivities, offering their perspective on the newly forged partnership with FORCE3. “We are honored to partner with FORCE3 and appreciate its commitment to safety and high-quality protective gear for athletes. Our respective organizations are dedicated to improving outcomes and eliminating barriers so that everyone can benefit from advancements in research and technology, whether on the field or in health care,” said Nicole Marohn, State Executive Director for New England, at Susan G. Komen.

Support for Susan G. Komen kicked off at FORCE3’s facility expansion unveiling, with silent auctions and giveaways to raise funds. The new facility debut took place at FORCE3’s head office in Stratford, Connecticut on Jason Klein Way, named after the innovative company founder.

The facility expansion is a result of the significant growth FORCE3 is experiencing and a key component in the safety-first company’s future growth strategy. “The expansion, which includes a larger corporate office, more warehouse space, expanded product development and research and development lab facilities and a new retail storefront (open M-F, 9-5), is borne of necessity,” said Goldsmith “The company’s growth has been explosive because of the overwhelmingly positive response the baseball and softball industries have given its protective gear lineup. There’s a need in the market for better protective gear that we are filling and continuing to fulfill, and the growing demand requires more resources, more research and development, more space, and more commitment.”

FORCE3’s steadfast commitment to its industry, community and unrelenting innovation is receiving recognition and being celebrated by the State of Connecticut. “Congratulations to FORCE3 on its growth and grand opening of its headquarters in Stratford,” said Paul S. Lavoie, Chief Manufacturing Officer, State of Connecticut. “Connecticut is proud of our long history of innovation and FORCE3 is a great example of innovation borne from personal experience. We look to support FORCE3 as the company deepens its roots in Connecticut and continues to grow and innovate. Best wishes to Jason, Steven, and the entire team as they lead the protective athletic equipment industry.”

The facility expansion and newly forged partnership with Susan G. Komen are just a few of many firsts to come, according to Goldsmith. “It’s an exciting time for FORCE3. We’re working on several new initiatives that will help us protect even more people from serious injuries – there’s a lot more to come.”
