Golf ball company Volvik has announced a new leadership team in the US, with Pete Kinney named as president and John Holst appointed the new vice president of sales.
Kinney and Holst have years of experience in the golf industry, in particular in the golf ball category – with Kinney having worked for Maxfli, TaylorMade, Slazenger, Srixon/Cleveland and Bridgestone Golf, and with Holst having held roles at Maxfli, Mizuno, Wilson and Forethought Golf.
“We look forward to leading the Volvik team as we expand the presence and scope of this exciting brand,” Kinney said. “Volvik has always been known for leading the way in color, quality and innovation, appealing to golfers of all skill levels.
“Our focus will continue to be developing ground-breaking technology, enhancing the colorful products that we are known for and, most importantly, being the brand that is associated with the word ‘fun’ for beginners to low handicappers. Our sales team is currently out in the field, visiting with our valued customers and presenting the best line-up of products and pricing that we have ever offered in the United States.”
Plans are in place to continue the expansion of various Volvik lines and to enhance the growing recognition of Volvik USA throughout North America.
