BAULKHAM HILLS, Australia (BRAIN) — Trent Fitzgibbins, one of the co-founders of the Australian distributor JetBlack Products, has sold his share in the company to co-founder Tony Simmonds and plans to take "a lesser role in the company."

Fitzgibbins' position will change from managing director to sales, research and development director.

"This will enable me to be singularly focused on driving sales both in our domestic and international channels without the distraction of the day-to-day business management," Fitzgibbins said in an email to clients on Wednesday. Simmonds will become managing director, he said.

JetBlack distrbutes BH Bikes, Pivot Bikes, CamelBak, Stans Notubes, and a variety of other products in Australia, including its own JetBlack house brand products. The company distributes to IBDs as well as big box retailers.
