Schmitt & Ongaro Bolsters Alliance with GSW

After a period of unprecedented growth with record level sales, Schmitt & Ongaro Marine Products lies poised to experience even greater product visibility. Company president Tim Schmitt announced that rep firm GSW and Associates will now carry Schmitt steering wheels and related accessories. GSW has long represented Ongaro stainless steel horns, windshield wiper systems and other marine goods. Schmitt Marine Steering Wheels, Inc. and Ongaro Marine, Ltd. unified into one company, Schmitt & Ongaro Marine Products, in 2008.

"Through the Ongaro product line, we have a decades-long history with GSW, and our companies work well together. Their recent merger with JB Dunn Company, who has strong experience with steering wheel products, puts us in an even stronger market position," said Schmitt. "GSW's professionalism and knowledgeable salesmanship augment our strong industry relationships."

GSW and Associates is headquartered in Alpharetta, Georgia, serving 12 Southeastern and Gulf area states with nine salespeople. In addition to sales representation, the company offers research, marketing and consulting services.
