Jim Murphy Moves to Hardy North America

Jim Murphy, who founded both Redington and Albright Tackle, has been hired as president of Hardy & Greys’ new wholly owned subsidiary, Hardy North America, headquartered in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. According to an article by Tim Mekeel in Lancaster Online, Hardy’s presence in Pennsylvania means an end to its distribution relationship with Cortland. “Hardy & Greys is investing more than $1 million to open the 14,000-square-foot facility. It will start with eight to 12 employees, with ‘significant potential for growth’ as the business expands, he said.”
