We are proud to announce the sale of Etch-Marc Inc. (Canada) to Doug Wilson, Wilson Retrievers, Inc. in Pittsburgh, PA. The newly improved & redesigned launcher is the foundation product for the introduction of Thunder Equipment and will be manufactured and serviced outside Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. We started this business because we love the retriever sports and had one goal in mind: to build the best, easiest to use, most versatile, durable and reliable training equipment on the market. Over the years multiple shot launchers and related technologies have become very popular in the canine training disciplines. Everyone from hunters to field trialers recognize the benefits of using mechanical aids to assist their dog in reaching their ultimate potential. The new and innovative technology being implemented will take retriever training launchers to an unprecedented new level of quality excellence.
