Athletica Sports Systems Acquires Cascadia Sport Systems Inc.

Athletica Sport Systems Inc. (“Athletica”), the world leader in the design, manufacture, and installation of dasher board systems, announced the acquisition of Cascadia Sport Systems Inc. (“Cascadia”). Cascadia is a premium provider of gymnasium and arena products for sport and multiuse entertainment facilities worldwide.

“This collaboration with Cascadia will provide Athletica with an expansion to our geographic footprint with new offices in Vancouver and Beijing. Cascadia will continue to operate as a separate entity while enabling Athletica to expand its product offering as a reseller of Cascadia gymnasium, soccer, and other sports infrastructure products,” said Andrew McRae, CEO of Athletica. “This is a great strategic fit that will allow both businesses to leverage each other’s products, capabilities, and relationships. Additionally, with operations in Beijing, Cascadia is well positioned to support the growth of hockey in Asia.”

Murdo Paterson, General Manager of Cascadia, will continue to lead the business contributing his experience and facilitating the succession of the company. “We are thrilled to partner with Athletica and look forward to growing our businesses together. Our customers can anticipate an expansion to our offerings, including Athletica’s arena services business.”

Cascadia has a long and prominent history in the sports infrastructure industry, supported by the deep talent and reputation of Murdo and his team. Athletica is excited to join forces and together be able to better serve our customers with industry-leading products in more geographies.
