Koch Marine, a division of North American transport service Koch Trucking, announced yesterday a partnership with Stingray Boats through which Koch will transport Stingray models to dealers in the United States and Canada.
“This partnership will allow us to focus on doing what we do best — and that is building boats — and for Koch Marine to do what they do best and that is safely transporting our boats,” Stingray CEO Barry Avent said in a statement. “We have operated our own trucking private fleet for over 45 years but realized that with the rising costs of trucks, trailers and maintenance on them, it made perfect sense to partner with a transportation expert in Koch Marine.”
Stingray Boats is a family-owned brand with a 225,000-square-foot manufacturing space and headquarters in Hartsville, S.C.
