Earlier this week Face-Full magazine’s website reported that Stiffi, the makers of carbon fiber barrels and accessories was for sale.

As expected, this put into question the company’s future, and concerned dealers have been calling and emailing staff at Stiffi to see if the company is still selling products, or is in the process of shutting down.

Naomi Tirado, the Director of Sales and Marketing, and apple of this reporter’s eye has been catching a majority of the questions from dealers, and in the interest of getting the full story, I contacted her and asked if she would come with the company if someone were to buy it.

Her response to my inquiry was “By the way, we’re getting dealers asking if we’re still taking orders.  Please let everyone know that we are still very much in business.”

She went on to add,  “Since STIFFI is such a well-known quality brand, our intention is to find either investors or a buyer in order to facilitate the expansion of the product line.  It’s business as usual here.”

So there you have it.  If you’re looking to get into the paintball business, or if you’re looking to expand your fleet of brands, take a hard look at Stiffi.
