The Birth and Growth of a New Company
Formation of Power Products, LLC as a Combination of Marine and Construction Brands
In 2013, the Actuant Corporation decided to separate several brands into a new company named Power Products, LLC (read the official press release here). This allowed me to:
- Play a crucial role in developing a web presence for a brand-new corporate entity.
- Become the primary contact for the first installation of inriver PIM in North America
- Created a system where the inriver PIM dynamically fed data in real time to both our distributor network and public websites built in Sitecore
- Develop product knowledge about a variety of brands in both the Construction and Marine Industries
2013 - 2023 (continued)
Power Products, LLC Construction Brands Become ECM Industries
In 2018, the Marine Industry brands of Power Products, LLC were purchased by the Brunswick Corporation (read the official press release here). As a result, the Construction Industry brands became a new corporate entity named ECM Industries. This provided me the opportunity to:
- Rebrand all of the public-facing websites for this new entity
- Learn and implement Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) transactions for the company to streamline daily warehouse operations
- Volunteer to work on the warehouse floor during peak order times to help maintain on-time product shipping
- Create and maintained a new YouTube Channel for the company

Power Products, LLC Marine Brands Join the Navico Group
In 2020, I returned to support the Marine Industry brands purchased by Brunswick. A large number of new company acquisitions were being added, and that gave me the chance to:
- Support multiple brand sites that are built on a variety of platforms such as Sitecore, Amazon Web Services (AWS), SQL, Unbounce, Wix, WordPress and even proprietary systems without documentation
- Consolidate the company's data and corporate identity to the Navico Group
- Become part of the team that converted the company's older on-premises inriver PIM system to the latest cloud version
