SANTA MONICA, Calif., July 26, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Skell Inc., patent holder & manufacturer of the BUG-A-SALT insect eradication device, is proud to announce a new global distribution partnership with MACVAD of New Zealand. 

Since BUG-A-SALT launched in 2012, due to a horrific problem with blood-sucking sand files, New Zealand has been the #1 market requesting to purchase BUG-A-SALT guns.  Initially, Skell was not able to consider New Zealand due to a lack of inventory.  More recently, distribution was held back due to a lack of a suitable strategic partner. Erika Schimik, President, Skell Inc., states, "The release of our product in New Zealand is long overdue, and we are proud to announce we have chosen to partner with a strong industry leader such as MACVAD.  With over 30 years of experience in the retail sector, we feel Sharl Short and his marketing & customer service team at MACVAD will serve as a natural extension of our brand – reinforcing our strong commitment to customer service & quality control as we expand globally."  

"From the moment I saw this amazing product, I realized MACVAD simply had to get this agency. I am grateful for Erika and Lorenzo of Skell Inc. to have given us this opportunity. My team and I will be working very hard to ensure we make this a huge success, 'Down Under'. We have already pre-booked trade fair booths, engineered social media campaigns, and the stock is on its way. Look out flies and other pesky insects. Your Kiwi days are numbered, one salt-shot at a time!" says Sharl Short, Director, MACVAD NZ LTD.  Email us on bugasalt@macvad.com to ensure you get on our mailing list for the latest updates or ring us on 0800 622 823 (NZ calls only) and leave us your contact details.
