Triton Systems, Inc. (Triton), a product development and venturing company announced it has acquired a majority interest in VOmax, a manufacturer of performance apparel for the cycling industry. The company, its employees and facilities in Northhampton, MA have been retained and will continue to operate as VOmax.

VOmax produces active lifestyle wear imprinted with high quality custom and licensed graphics for cycling, Nordic, triathlon and running markets. VOmax is also the exclusive manufacturer of licensed cycling jerseys, shorts, and arm warmers of the National Hockey League (NHL), the National Basketball Association (NBA) and Major League Baseball (MLB). You can choose from any of the 90 team cycling jerseys, shorts, and arm warmers available at their retail website, www.vomaxgear.com.

“Acquiring VOmax is a perfect opportunity for Triton to partner with an active lifestyle wear company where we can apply our ASSET™ antimicrobial, water repellent and stain resistant coatings,” said Ross Haghighat, Triton President and CEO. “Our ASSET™ coatings technology is an energy efficient, solvent free process for ultrathin, rugged, highly functional surface modifications and coatings – ideal for woven and non-woven fabrics.” The ability to use ASSET™ coatings technology on retail products is a major milestone for the company as they move forward with commercialization plans for its ASSET™ Nanocoatings.

“This is great fit for both companies and the transaction will strengthen our ability to serve both new and existing customers,” said Micheal Restuccia, President and CEO of VOmax. “We are excited to partner with Triton as we take VOmax to the next level.”
