Take-over of Smart Parts Europe
Friedberg & Offenbach, January 25, 2010
Joint Press Release MAXS Sport GmbH & PAINT XTREME GmbH
Take-over of Smart Parts Europe Stocks and Tech-Service
We are proud to announce the joint take-over of the complete Smart Parts Europe (Ltd.) stocks
including all spare parts after the closure of their London stocks by our two companies. The complete
inventory is now being finally recorded in Europe’s biggest and most modern Paintball distribution
center, the MAXS DC in Friedberg.
From now on, all distribution partners who formerly purchased their Smart Parts products directly
from England will have the opportunity to deal with one of the above mentioned companies. Smart
Parts‘ last regular wholesale price list will again be valid and binding from February 1, 2010 on –
especially in matters of MAP pricing.
Tech Services and all other warranty issues for SP products will – as already done before by Smart
Parts Europe – again be handed over to company GUNTECH in Zweibruecken since their outstanding
expertise in matters of SP is unequalled all over Europe. We are pleased that we have been able to
regain GUNTECH as an experienced partner for all technical customer services. Alternatively
customers may also contact all MAXS Megastores in Germany, Austria and Switzerland or one of the
PAINT XTREME Superstores in Saarbrucken and Waldems where you will find qualified and trained
Smart Parts Techs answering all your technical questions.
In times of mistrust and keen competition, we have decided to go this unusual way together in the
form of a joint cooperation since we have a strong faith in Smart Parts as a brand and their products
– even and especially in the future! At the same time we were aware of the deep incertainty among
players and dealers and hope that combining the strengths of our two companies (MAXS with its
distribution centre and PAINT XTREME as the biggest SP dealer in German-speaking countries) will
regain the faith in such great products as e.g. the ION (still being the benchmark for all other entry
level e-markers), VIBE (the rental marker of the future) or other classics such as the Freak Set.
Using this opportunity we would like to thank Phil Webb (former Managing Director SP Europe Ltd.)
and especially Adam Gardner (Vice President Smart Parts USA) for their trust and cooperation during
the recent weeks.
