Spy Is Making Money

May 15, 2012

Author: Mike P.

2012’s first quarter results are in for Spy Optics. The future looks so bright…etc etc. The company reported a 22% increase in net sales to 8.1 Million.

President Michael Marckx attributes the growth to many factors. A big drive in goggle sales and a new focus in the optics and performance arenas.

“We have done a much better job in our purchasing and planning, as well as creating products that we know will sell. This is in contrast to creating things with outside vendors that everyone hopes will sell.” Explains Marckx.
