LeoVince USA recently increased its staff and warehouse capabilities to accommodate its more than 40 percent sales growth this year.

Jeff Viets has joined the company as director of operations to strengthen operations, expand sales and ensure customer service objectives. Viets is a motorcycle and telecom executive veteran.

In addition, powersports industry stalwart Rick Marlin has been promoted to national director of sales to continue development of the FORZA dealer rewards program and future expansion of the sales and customer service departments.

Chris Urewicz has come on board as warehouse and facilities associate, and Michele Vosper has joined the company as customer service specialist.

The company recently completed a warehousing expansion and upgrading project that will result in the largest inventory of LeoVince products ever carried in the U.S. It also means that products that are shipped weekly from Italy will be in stock and ready to ship. The expansion project has resulted in an additional 20,000 cubic feet of warehouse space for LeoVince.
