The Marine Division of Achilles USA, Inc. (the “Marine Division”) is unique in that we sell the only truly branded product of our company, Achilles Inflatable Boats. The boats that we manufacture in Japan, and to a lesser degree in China, are the only finished products that are sold as an Achilles brand. For this reason, it is a very important part of the company’s history, and it offers a great sense of pride to our parent company in Japan.
