As we tackle the beginning of the 2021 boating season, we are proud to announce some key additions to the ARCO Marine leadership team. Of course, we continue to deliver the highest quality boat replacement parts in the industry. Our focus in 2021 is to bring new ideas and products to the market as well. These additions will help us realize our vision of commitment to the highest quality and expanded product innovations.

Ben Stoddard has been in the boating industry for more than 20 years. He has experience in a variety of capacities, ranging from managing boat yards and bottom painting boats, all the way to becoming a vice president of a naval architecture firm. In short, Ben brings a long and impressive resume of accomplishments and experience in the marine industry. ARCO Marine is fortunate to have him aboard.

"One of the things I am most excited about now is all the products we have on the drawing board to develop.", said Stoddard. "Some of the products are in our general wheelhouse, and there are new ones outside of our typical space that are going to really contribute to the marine industry as a whole". Ben has a commitment to continuing ARCO's 60 year history of quality and commitment. He believes in manufacturing the highest quality boat replacement parts in the industry, right here in the U.S.A. As part of the ARCO Marine 2021 vision for the future, Ben is playing a leadership role in developing product innovations that will set new standards in the marine industry.
