Bravo Sports Corp announced its acquisition of Pro-Tec, a sports protective gear brand founded in 1973. Joining other Bravo Sports action sports brands, SixSixOne and ONE Industries, Pro-Tec will be moving day-to-day operations to Bravo Sports’ South Orange County campus from its headquarters in San Diego.
In June of 2015, Bravo Sports was itself acquired by Transom Capital. “With Pro-Tec as the first major acquisition since we’ve been at the helm of Bravo Sports, we can offer our customers protection from a name that’s trusted all over the world,” said Russ Roenick, Managing Director of Transom Capital.
“During the three year duration that Dye Precision, Inc. owned Pro-Tec, Dye made great strides in improving global distribution, product technology, branding, and Pro-Tec’s online presence. Pro-Tec is in good hands with Bravo Sports, who will continue offering industry-leading sports protection for athletes internationally,” says Dave DeHaan President and CEO at Dye Precision, Inc. “As the original action sports protective gear brand, we’re proud that Bravo Sports will take Pro-Tec into the future and still honor its heritage.”
