We were glad to host the IBEX leadership team at our facility this week while they were in Orlando for their annual leadership meeting. It was great spending time together over lunch and giving them a tour of our plants. The conversations around how the IBEX Show continues to grow and evolve were especially exciting.  Their team is constantly looking for ways to add new features, bring in more suppliers, and create even more value for attendees across the marine industry. #IBEXShow #TeakIsleMfg #MarineIndustry #boatoutfitters

🔥 Saving the world… one grill at a time. I had the absolute pleasure of sitting down with Mike Reishmann from Kenyon Grills at IBEX in Florida — and let me tell you, his energy is next level. ⚡️ Mike isn’t just building grills. He’s on a mission. With Kenyon cornering over 90% of the market in their space within the boating industry, there’s no question he’s created something exceptional. 🚤🔥 What makes it even more impressive? The unique features he’s painstakingly developed over the years — innovations specifically engineered for the marine environment and carefully protected with patents (understandably!). When you build it this well, you protect it. 💡🔒 The atmosphere at IBEX was electric, and Mike’s passion fit it perfectly. His enthusiasm is truly infectious — you’ll hear it the moment you tune in. 🎙️ If you love boating, innovation, or hearing from founders who genuinely care about what they create, this episode is for you. 👉 Check out Kenyon Grills for more details 👉 And make sure you visit IBEX in 2026 — it’s a must for anyone in the marine industry. I hope you enjoy the conversation as much as I did. Please like, subscribe, and leave a review so we can continue championing voices like Mike’s. 🙌 #Podcast #BoatingIndustry #MarineInnovation #IBEX #KenyonGrills #BoatLife #MarineBusiness #Entrepreneurship #FounderStory #Innovation #MadeForBoats #Leadership #BoatIndustry #MarineLifestyle 🚤🔥
