Smart Parts Inc., undergoes temporary closure for restructuring during

the month of January 2010.

Loyalhanna, PA – January 6, 2010 – Paintball manufacturer Smart Parts,

operations in order to facilitate a corporate restructuring. During
this time, the company will not be able accept or process orders, ship

refused and returned to the sender.

    I’m exasperated with the state of our economy and how our Government is handling the “Economic Circus”.
    Will there be a Smart Parts come February first? Will it be as good a company with support and products as before? I guess First of Feb. will tell the tail.
    How can we the paintball community suffer having supported SP and other paintball companies, that cut and run off with what ever assets they can carry.
    Sean Scott left the country! He went to Argentina! If Smart Parts fails, how can the rest of us learn from there demise. I don’t know what the future holds for paintball in 2010. I know I own a lot of Smart Parts products that will in the near future need support. Closing for a month is hopefully all they will need, to get back to the business of supplying some of the best paintball products out there.
    What are the Smart Parts users going to do? What am I going to do? I don’t know!
    Hopefully they will come out of this economic slump better than ever.
    Again time will tell.
    My Heart felt best wishes for all of our paintball community for a better year in 2010.
    Happy New Year, and may God Bless.
