IMC Licensing Announces Representation of ROUSH
Performance Products
LOUISVILLE, KY – IMC Licensing, the nation's leading
full-service licensing agency specializing in consumer
product brands, announced today that it has entered into a
representation agreement with Michigan-based ROUSH
Performance Products, Inc. IMC will develop a strategic
licensing plan and a portfolio of new brand-building
licensed products to support ROUSH Performance Product’s
line of automotive parts, vehicles and crate engines.
According to Cara Bernosky, IMC President and
Co-Founder, “We are delighted to represent ROUSH, a brand
that is well-known for automotive engineering and
manufacturing excellence as well as for its racing heritage.
We see great potential in linking ROUSH with new
opportunities in licensing to expand the brand’s presence in
the automotive and motorsports markets.”
NASCAR team owner and motorsports legend Jack Roush's
lifelong passion for hot rods and racing was the driving
force in the 1995 creation of ROUSH Performance Products,
the first specialty-vehicle company to combine race-proven
technologies with advanced automotive engineering. The
result, such as the highly-regarded ROUSH Mustang or F-150
pickup, typically includes styling, performance and handling
characteristics derived from the racetrack and modified for
street legal usage.
“IMC Licensing believes there are tremendous
opportunities for ROUSH in a wide range of performance and
lifestyle categories for the performance car enthusiast,”
added Bernosky. Licensed product categories could include
parts, accessories, tools and garage, maintenance parts and
small engines.
