Action Wipes creator, Martha Van Inwegen and Grease Monkey Wipes owner, Tim Stansbury have announced a partnership that will provide multisport athletes with a variety of compatible and comprehensive cleaning options. This partnership will help both companies fortify their position in the rapidly growing and fragmented bicycling wipe market.
Van Inwegen expressed her enthusiasm about the opportunity saying, “We are excited to be partnering with Grease Monkey Wipes. Our products are obviously both wipes, but that is where the similarities end. Action Wipes are the ideal solution when you cannot shower and Grease Monkey Wipes help you remove grease and grime from either yourself or your bike. Offering both products to customers will give them all the on-the-go cleaning solutions they would need.”
Stansbury sees the two companies blending seamlessly. “The bicycling wipe market is a fast growing new segment and partnering with Action Wipes seemed like a natural fit. This partnership allows us to offer customers a complete portable cleaning solution… From the bike to the body and everything in between.”
The companies will be offering their product bundle at the upcoming Levi Leipheimer’s King Ridge GranFondo in Santa Rosa, California; at several USGP Cyclocross events including The New Belgium Cup in Ft Collins, Colorado and The Deschutes Brewery Cup in Bend, Oregon; at the Ironman 70.3 Austin in Austin, Texas; and at the Single Speed Cyclocross World Championships in San Francisco, California.
A new website (bikewipes.com) is being created specifically to feature and sell both products as a bundle.
