Kimber Partners with Bill Hicks & Co., Ltd. for Distribution

Kimber Mfg. has partnered with Bill Hicks & Co., Ltd. to add depth to Kimber’s sales distribution.

Kimber is excited to announce a strategic partnership with Bill Hicks & Co., Ltd. By activating this agreement with Bill Hicks, Kimber will deliver greater sales distribution to underserved regions. Bill Hicks is the latest addition to the Kimber authorized distributor network adding their second-to-none sales team, website, programs, marketing materials, and customer service to increase Kimber’s brand visibility and dealer support throughout the United States. Kimber will continue to add to its successful sales team while augmenting counter sales incentive programs for all dealers interested in stocking Kimber products.

Mountie Mizer, Vice President of Sales stated: “I have known the team at Bill Hicks & Co., Ltd. for a number of years and for the Kimber brand to bring them on board is really exciting as we continue to grow our Distribution partnerships. I am excited to work with Matt Taschner and the Bill Hicks Sales Team. While we will always prioritize our Master Dealer partnerships, increased distribution partnerships will continue to place Kimber products under new glass and expand our consumer outreach.

Kimber continues to elevate and promote its Limited Lifetime Warranty which was activated in the fall of 2024, returning to the level of support Kimber owners expect.

Dennis Dougherty, Board Advisor, stated: “Kimber has added a number of premium and well-respected distributors to our already successful Master Dealer network as we expand our market reach. Kimber recognized that many areas had limited ability to acquire our premium products and our new distributors, including Bill Hicks, significantly expands our customer’s access.”
