WARWICK, RI — August 23, 2017 — SquadLocker, the leading online provider of apparel management solutions for youth sports via its instant store builder platform, has announced today that it has completed its Series B Round financing led by Causeway Media Partners, as well as continued participation from its lead investor Mr. James Lombardi.  Terms of the investment were not disclosed.

The Series B Round financing will allow the company to accelerate its advertising and product development as well as continue to build out its manufacturing infrastructure to meet its strong customer demand for its industry-leading custom decorated apparel.  The Series B builds on an exceptional year for SquadLocker which has seen a significant increase in strategic partnerships, key executive appointments and the addition of thousands of teams and programs using its online platform. 

“SquadLocker’s offering is well timed with the growing need for a mass customized, athlete focused solution as consumers continue to move away from shopping at traditional local retailers.  We believe the market will continue to follow this shift, and we are impressed with SquadLocker’s strong channel partners and deep manufacturing expertise,” stated Bob Higgins, partner at Causeway Media. 

“Our entire team at SquadLocker is excited about having Causeway Media Partners as our newest investors. They bring a wealth of industry knowledge and a deep network across the world of sports,”  stated co-founder and CEO Gary Goldberg.  “We are also excited about adding Bob Higgins from Causeway to our Board of Directors, as well as communication and media veteran Mark Pelson, previously of Providence Equity Partners,”

Ramuc Pool Coatings is pleased to announce it is now providing several literature pieces in Spanish as well as English. Responding to customer feedback, RAMUC has learned that many service techs and retailers are bilingual and should have materials available in the language that meets their comfort level. More importantly, many specifiers, influencers and end users, both in the US and internationally, are native Spanish speakers and thus this new literature will help these individuals understand the features and benefits of each product. “Ultimately this literature alleviates the need for an ‘assisted sale’ as now users can select the best product for their needs directly from the Spanish-language literature,” explains Rebecca Spencer, Marketing Director at RAMUC. Ramuc translated additional literature into Spanish this year after receiving very favorable response to the translation of its full line catalog last year.
