Frank Koch, a veteran of the sporting goods industry, is jumping ship again. He has left as managing director of Sportart3, the licensee for Adidas' boxing and mixed martial arts equipment, citing differences with the company's other new owners. He will be replaced by his partner and former sales director, Eric Wachholz. Koch will now handle European sales for Strengthmaster, which operates in the market with brands such as Lifespan and Ampera. Koch has spent more than 30 years in the sector, working for companies such as Prince, Pro Kennex, Icon Health & Fitness, Kettler and Green Fitness.
