STRYK Group USA and Angled Spade Technologies Have BeenEngaged by Auto Mag, LTD. CO., For Industry Expertise
STRYK Group USA and Angled Spade Technologies have been engaged by Auto Mag LTD. CO. to take business to the “next level.” Auto Mag LTD. CO. (Auto Mag) has joined the ranks of serious firearms contenders and exists to revitalize the American classic known as the .44 Auto Mag® Pistol in a productive business environment.
The original design of Auto Mag’s .44 pistol dates back to 1968 and since then, gun aficionados have been patiently waiting to experience the thrill of owning and shooting this symbol of cinematic, firearm, and literary history. In 2015, Auto Mag answered the call by obtaining exclusive rights to this iconic firearm, namesake, and brand. Since then, Auto Mag has worked tirelessly, spending many years building upon its original design with many improvements along the way. Now and without question, the company has managed to reinforce the iconic look, feel, and value epitomized by Dirty Harry himself and generated an invigorating buzz across the shooting community that validates its efforts. As part of the company’s passion and dedication for long-term growth, Auto Mag has turned to top industry professionals within Angled Spade Technologies, LLC, and STRYK Group USA.
Angled Spade Technologies will head up the day-to-day charge to bring this iconic pistol to the shooting community in a way that serves the significance of this project. Angled Spade will handle the overall management, engineering, production, and fulfillment led by Mike Bush and his partners, Matt Dulude and Joe Salvador. These three are well known within the industry for an incredibly long list of achievements related to creating and bringing cutting edge firearms to market.
STRYK Group USA, an impact consulting company for the world’s leading hunting, camping, fishing, and firearms brands, will be managing the sales, marketing, and customer service efforts for Auto Mag. STRYK Group USA is led by industry leaders Jeff Edwards and partner, Chase Myers.
“For Auto Mag, this is an exciting time to revitalize and broaden the product offerings and release them to the market. As we’ve worked to ramp up production of the Auto Mag 180-D pistol, we’ve recognized that to truly do this project justice, we would need to involve world-class industry leaders from Angled Spade and STRYK Group to effectively meet the current market demands,” said Patrick Henry III of Auto Mag. “Like others in the industry, we’re well acquainted with the standout capabilities and results the teams at these two companies bring to the table.
“We’ve entrusted Angled Spade to lead the charge, as they’ve scaled major brands in the shooting and outdoor industry and have recently conducted an in-depth assessment of our Loris, SC facility. We agreed with their summation that relocating the entirety of our operation to the heartland of firearms manufacturing will be necessary to properly serve our customers moving forward.” The move is slated for the future and details will be forthcoming.
Under the terms of the agreements, Angled Spade Technologies will provide Auto Mag LTD. CO. with overall management of the company, engineering, new product development, supply chain management, demand sourcing to forecast, website management and systems integration and oversight of sales activities. STRYK Group will manage the sales program and implementation, market positioning and branding, and day-to-day customer service support. The project will also leverage STRYK Group’s proprietary databases and sophisticated digital platforms for highly targeted promotion to qualified retailers, augmented by strategic physical sales channel development, plus order taking around the world.
About Angled Spade Technologies, LLC
After providing the juice for many products-oriented companies, Mike, Matt, and Joe decided there was no better time than the present to take charge in ways only they can, so they founded Angled Spade Technologies, LLC in August 2022. As many have heard Mike ask, “Are you ready to strap in?” Not many immediately understand why he asks that question prior to starting a project. It doesn’t take long for them to realize they are strapped into a rocket sled and are enjoying what it means to precisely execute at a pace no one in the areas of product development and market entry have experienced in the firearms industry. Angled Spade is headquartered in the Connecticut River Valley area, which has served as the heartland of firearms production for many years. For information on Angled Spade, the website, www.angledspade.com, will be online within the coming weeks.
