His dealer network: Sears, Kmart, et al
Article Abstract:
Unified Marine is a national distributor of boating supplies to mass merchandisers Kmart, Lowe's and Sears, Roebuck and Co. The company was established in 1984 by David Nirenberg, who at time was disenchanted with his career at another marine distributor. Nirenberg says that by providing turn-key shelf management and a never-say-no business attitude he was able to meet the demands of mass merchandisers. This philosophy allowed Unified to garner the Kmart account by 1987 and enabled it to manufacture and package its own Seasense brand, which accounts for 65 to 70% of its product line.
