Leatt Corporation Outsources Production

CAPE TOWN, South Africa - Leatt Corporation (U.S. Pink Sheets: LEAT.PK), a Nevada, USA Corporation headquartered in Cape Town, South Africa, that develops, sells and distributes the Leatt-Brace™, a Neck Brace System designed to help prevent potentially devastating motor sport injuries to the cervical spine (neck), today announced that the company has successfully outsourced its production to Playmaker (Pty) Ltd., a high-volume production facility based in Taiwan/China.

Taiwan based Playmaker (Pty) Ltd. has been in operation for approximately 40 years, has roughly 1,000 employees located at their 100,000m² factory and specializes in the manufacture of wakeboards, snowboards, water skis and the related bindings. Playmaker also has production facilities in Mainland China which will be utilized to manufacture products for Leatt Corporation.

The outsourcing of production to Playmaker (Pty) Ltd is expected to result in a major increase in Leatt Corporation’s current production capacity, thereby enabling the Company to meet sudden or anticipated future demand for its products, whilst maintaining the strict manufacturing requirements that have, to date, produced high-quality neck braces that were initially fabricated at the Company’s South African production facilities.

“The initial impact of this move was a delay in the availability and the full scale launch of the retail product”, said Dr. Chris Leatt, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Leatt Corporation. “However,” he added, “the move was necessary in light of a much higher market interest in the product than we had originally anticipated. And now, having completed the transition of production from South Africa to Taiwan/China the company is in a position to begin to fill the product orders from individuals as well as our industry distributors and partners since the product was introduced to the international marketplace last year.”
