Ted Fagerburg’s Experience

Recreational Marine Consulting

(Maritime industry)

January 2007 — Present (2 years)

With over 30 years of experience in the recreational marine industry and over 25 years of experience in international markets, I can provide expert and competent advice to the recreational marine industry. International dealer development (primarily in Europe), manufacturing advice for small to medium size craft, marketing assistance, links to European boat styling and design houses - all fall within the scope of my activities. Current work (summer / fall 2008) is for Volkswagen Marine.

My last major work at Marine Power Europe (now renamed Brunswick Marine) was the development and management of the European boat program. During my tenure, the business grew from virtually nothing to become the largest purveyor of recreational craft in Europe. During my last year at MPE, annual boat sales exceeded 20,000 units (25,000 including sales of companies in which MPE has partial equity) for an invoice value of over 150 million Euros.
