Lowell, MICHIGAN – June 11, 2012 – The Company renowned for inventing the first ATV box is back, after closing its doors in October of 2011.  When the founder, Bernie Pepin, sold the company to a new owner in late 2009 they had sustained steady and rapid growth for over 5 years.  Shortly thereafter company found itself on the decline due to poor new management. “It was a very sad situation to see the company we built to such great success, go downhill so quickly under new ownership,” explains Richard Carnegie, who resigned from the company in July of 2010 as Vice President and returned January 2012 as the new company President. The original founder and owner, Bernie Pepin, assures dealers and consumers that they will receive the same great products and customer service that Tamarack was previously known for. “It’s already clear that once our dealers found out that we were back, [and with many of the same employees as before the company sold] they were immediately on board and ordering because of the solid business relationships we’ve formed over the years,” says Pepin.  Although two years have passed since changing hands, after just 3 short months of hard work, it is business as usual at Tamarack. “It was like coming home” closes Richard Carnegie.
