Based in Renton, Washington, Maschmedt & Associates will act as an independent sales representative for Trimble Outdoors’ off-the-grid mapping products in Alaska, Arizona, California, Colorado, Hawaii, Idaho, Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Mexico, Oregon, Utah, Washington and Wyoming. They will focus on specialty retail shops in addition to outdoor chain stores.
“We are really excited about our new relationship with Trimble,” said Don Maschmedt of Maschmedt & Associates. “Trimble provides a great new technology that changes the way outdoor enthusiasts use mobile phones and tablets as GPS devices. It’s exactly the type of innovative products that we look for in a new partner and we are excited to help Trimble bring them to the outdoor market.”
