Active Energy, a division of Accessory Exchange, has inked a deal with K-Swiss to become its exclusive accessory licensee. Rich Stober will serve as President over the new division and under his leadership, Active Energy will produce and distribute accessories to include socks, sport bags, and headwear. "The combination of our expertise in the accessory market and the power that the K-Swiss brand provides will be the perfect platform to springboard K-Swiss KSWS into these very important categories," noted Abe Dweck, CEO Active Energy, a division of Accessory Exchange. The collection of accessories is scheduled to hit shelves during the second quarter of 2011. Distribution will be focused on department stores, sport specialty shops and family shoe chains.
