Mack Boring parts ways with Oxe Diesel Engines
Mack Boring & Parts Co. has discontinued its representation of Oxe Diesel Engines.
In a brief statement issued on Tuesday (16 July 2024), the firm says: “Current Oxe distribution strategy for North America is not a match for Mack Boring going forward, hence the announcement and clear end to representation of the product line.”
Mack Boring was an early investor in the Oxe brand, initially signing on as a distributor in 2015. The firm secured the first orders of Oxe Diesel Outboards for the U.S. Coast Guard following joint management of a CRADA research project in 2017.
Patrick McGovern, president of Mack Boring & Parts, adds: “Mack Boring has been involved in selling diesel outboard engines from various manufacturers for over 35 years. We have learned a lot in these experiences, and the Oxe product has shown advantages in fuel efficiency, fuel safety and reduced emissions versus traditional gasoline outboards.
“We continue to believe in the potential for a reliable diesel outboard, and plan continued monitoring for opportunities in this space. We wish the Oxe team luck in their ongoing efforts, and we thank our customers who were early adopters of the Oxe product.”
In 2022, Oxe Marine signed on eight new partners across North and South America, vastly expanding the global distributor and dealer network for the Oxe Diesel outboard.
MIN has approached Mack Boring for additional comment on the schism.
