On February 2, 1998, DBW completed the acquisition of the principal manufacturing assets, designs, and rights for the production of Duckworth boats. Committed to the ongoing development of Duckworth, DBW has focused its efforts on creating a management, production, distribution and financial foundation for significant expansion of Duckworth’s production capacity and market presence. In September 2000, the owners of Duckworth Boat Works and Weldcraft Marine Industries, Inc. combined their efforts with the creation of Renaissance Marine Group, Inc. ("RMG"). RMG now operates a combined manufacturing operation in Clarkston, producing both Duckworth and Weldcraft branded boats built to the specific designs and demands of each brand. Duckworth, its dealers and customers benefit greatly from the combined buying power, production capabilities, and enhanced management teams offered by RMG.
