Tippmann Extends Marker Warranty to Two Years

New industry-leading warranty offers players added confidence and peace of mind

BUFFALO GROVE, IL - Tippmann Sports recently announced that the company will be standing behind its legendary Tippmann branded paintball markers with a new, industry leading two-year warranty. The first-of-its kind warranty, which will be prominently highlighted on all product packaging as well as the company's print advertisements and website, officially went into effect on January 1, 2008. There will also be a grace period to cover those players who purchased a new Tippmann paintball marker in late 2007.

"Our exclusive two-year warranty really speaks for itself," said Patrick Ehren, Vice President of Sales and Marketing for Tippmann Sports. "We're extremely confident when it comes to the durability and reliability of our products - our markers have proven themselves in the field for more than 20 years. "In today's environment, as consumers are making their purchasing decisions, they want to know they won't be abandoned by the manufacturer after the purchase. This new warranty gives them that peace-of-mind and sends a very clear message that Tippmann stands behind its products. The level of support and service our company provides is simply unparalleled in the paintball industry."
