Airblaster Talks Ninja Suit Success!

Shop Eat Surf has a rad little article up about Airblaster’s beginnings and their success with their Ninja Suits. Jesse Grandkoski, who co-owns the label with Travis Parker and graphic designer Paul Miller, talks about how the company is run and where they’re currently at. He said, “The company is financing production with revolving loans from family and the hope is with its growth, Airblaster will be able to get bank financing soon. In 2009, revenues grew 30%. The operation is lean – five people work in-house – and the owners are constantly weighing the costs and benefits of bringing on new employees to exploit opportunities vs. keeping overhead low.” It’s a good tale for anyone who’s running their own business. Head over here to read the whole article and click the images above for a few different lines in the ridiculously successful Ninja Suit.
