Astral Grows In Canada

Appoints In-Sport to handle distribution north of the border.

Astral is growing  North! This week, the performance footwear and PFD manufacturer announced In-Sport Fashions Inc. as its Canadian distributor. Previously handled directly from Astral’s facilities in Asheville, NC, Canadian retailers will now have the ability to order Astral footwear directly in Canada. 

“We chose In-Sport for their experience, commitment to service and  ability to bring in brands to the Canadian market,” notes Astral VP of Sales & Marketing Christie Dobson. “They provide a full-service sales and marketing experience for the consumer and the retailer. Astral syncs well with their portfolio of high-quality, well-respected brands like Osprey and Exped. They have a well-seasoned team along with deep knowledge of outdoor products. Plus, they’re just nice folks to work with!”  

This appointment will take effect with the presentation and delivery of the Spring 2018 footwear collection.
