Rockford Fosgate (www.rockfordfosgate.com), the industry leader in high-performance audio systems, is proud to announce for the second consecutive year that it will be the official motorcycle audio sponsor of the famed Sturgis Motorcycle Rally 2015. Rockford Fosgate is proud to bring high performance motorcycle audio systems to the crowds of enthusiasts on Lazelle Street in downtown Sturgis, SD during the 75^th annual week-long event from August 3-9.

“Last year’s event was incredible, and we are thrilled to once again be the official motorcycle audio sponsor of the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally for 2015,” said Bill Jackson, Rockford CEO and president. “Our booth was swamped by passionate motorcycle Fanatics last year, and we are looking forward to seeing some familiar faces, and many new ones, at this year’s event. We are going to have a lot going on all week, and we can’t wait to get there.”

At the Rockford Fosgate booth, which will be located at the corner of 2^nd Street and Lazelle Street, Rockford will be featuring the RF mini soundlab, slingshot, motorcycles, and active stereo displays, as well as offering numerous promotions and giveaways. For this 75^th anniversary rally, Rockford also teamed up with several of its retail partners in order to offer products for sales as well as on-site installation during the rally. Rockford is also promoting its dealer network of authorized motorcycle audio installation centers for those attendees who want to get their audio systems upgraded at home.

Rockford’s approach to those audio system upgrades include compact, yet powerful and efficient audio components for use in the unique conditions encountered by motorcycles.

“Anyone who loves riding on the open road knows how harsh the elements can be at any given time, whether it be temperature, dirt, dust, moisture, and even noise,” explained Jackson. “To that end, we have developed specially-designed element-ready source units, amps, speakers, subwoofers, and installation accessories that are small enough to fit on a motorcycle, but powerful and durable enough to provide our acclaimed sonic signature while withstanding the elements in such a tight and demanding environment.”

Since 1938, the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally has grown to become one of the largest motorcycle rallies in the world. According to Sturgis statistics, nearly half-a-million motorcycle enthusiasts participated in the 2014 event.

“The City of Sturgis is proud to once again partner with Rockford Fosgate for the 75^th Annual Sturgis Motorcycle Rally,” added Sturgis City Manager Daniel Ainslie. “Last year proved that Sturgis and Rockford Fosgate are a perfect pair. Those who ride love their music and with Rockford Fosgate’s dedication to delivering world-class audio products designed specifically for their bikes, it’s no wonder how enormously popular Rockford is during the Rally.”

Rockford Corp. has promoted Tammy Lowe to director of marketing.

“Tammy has been with Rockford for more than 25 years, and has been associated with the marketing of our brands since the late 1990s,” said Theresa Anthony, Rockford vice president of sales and marketing. “As director of marketing, Tammy will remain focused on growing our brands by staying in alignment with the sales and product teams. She will manage the daily activities of the marketing group while developing strategic plans for each of our brands.”

Lowe started at Rockford in 1988. During this time, she worked in various rolls, starting out in inside sales, then moving over to the marketing department as the trade show and events manager and marketing services manager. Most recently she was the marketing manager for the past seven years. She has managed the efforts of the marketing team to move Rockford forward in digital marketing, has kept its brands visible in the retail stores, and has maintained the brands’ national exposure at music, sports, and lifestyle enthusiast events.

“I’ve seen the dramatic upward progression of this company during my time at Rockford, and I am very proud of the international leader it has become,” said Lowe. “I’ve worked with so many great people here at Rockford and throughout the industry. The Rockford name is synonymous with quality worldwide, and I am excited to take on more responsibilities to further the awareness of Rockford’s brands and to build on our success for future growth.”

Rockford Corp. (www.rockfordcorp.com), has announced that after a successful four years of distributing products by Audiotec Fischer under the Brax, Helix, and Match brands, Rockford Corporation in cooperation with Audiotec Fischer, has determined that it will be beneficial to both parties to end the distribution arrangement.

Bill Jackson, president and CEO of Rockford Corporation, stated, “Everyone at Rockford, including myself, has the highest level of respect for Mr. Heinz and Mrs. Gudrun Fischer, their brands, and the technology they bring to the market place. However, at this time, Rockford has opportunities within its own brands that require its resources and therefore out of respect for Mr. and Mrs. Fischer, we have decided to end our distribution of the brands to allow them to re-address the North American market.”

Heinz Fischer, owner of Audiotec Fischer, stated, “I would like to thank Rockford for their dedication and efforts over the past four years, during which time our brands have been introduced to the masses and well taken care of. I understand and respect their decision and appreciate their support as we transition to a new distributor for North America.”

Rockford will continue to sell, service, and support the Brax, Helix, and Match brands until a new distribution partner is announced.
