Lexington, South Carolina– Hawley announced today a partnership with EVOC to distribute its high quality bags for cyclists and back-country skiers. This announcement comes less than 12 months after the successful relaunch of EVOC in Canada with Lambert, Hawley’s sister company. Products will be available for ordering from Hawley as of October 2016.

“We are excited to extend this partnership to the US,” said Dave Savard, Brand Manager at Hawley-Lambert. “EVOC has created a unique design for travel bags and now owns this market. Its high-quality hydration and protector backpacks, which feature carefully refined details, offer a myriad of useful features. Most importantly, all EVOC products have authentic designs made and tested by passionate riders for riders.”

Bernd Stucke, founder and Managing Director at EVOC added “EVOC has gained a very good standing and demand in the US over the past few years. With Hawley´s solid sales representatives network we will be able to now even better service our customers. One of the next step in the brand evolution in the US is the implementation of the EVOC Retail Program which will build closer relationships between EVOC and our retailer partners. We have been very happy with Lambert in Canada and look forward to replicate this success with the Hawley team in the US.”

About EVOC

EVOC was personally developed and tested all around the world by the two founders, Bernd Stucke and Holger Feist. They travelled the world for many years and it wasn’t always easy to find the right equipment for their trips. So, in 2008, they decided to found their own company to make and test their equipment themselves. Based in Munich, Germany EVOC is a company focused on uncompromising quality, functionality and durability to set the standard in terms of design, comfort and safety. The co-founders communicate their passion for sports in every products and that’s why EVOC products are always a bit more than just pieces of equipment. www.evocsports.com
