U.S Toy welcomes toy industry veteran Edde Martinez to its sales management team. Martinez assumes the role of director of specialty sales after 16 years at Toysmith and four years at Sunshine Sales.
In his new role, Martinez will work alongside Christina Clayton, who also holds the position of director of specialty sales. Together they will help lead the sales growth with a focus on expanding U.S. Toy’s distribution across broad and diversified specialty retailers.
“Edde is a well-known and respected senior sales manager, and we are extremely fortunate to now have him on our sales management team during the company’s exciting time of fast-growth,” says Doug Bordegon, vice president of sales and marketing for U.S. Toy and Constructive Playthings.
Martinez enters the new role with extensive industry knowledge and a proven track record of driving sales in all specialty channels including toy, gift, hobby, museums, zoos, and more.
It’s been a busy summer at U.S Toy, as the company recently inked a retail distribution pact with Horizon Group USA, to serve as the exclusive distributor for its arts and crafts and STEM kits for the specialty market.
