It also provides a wider avenue from which we can evolve and grow our offerings in exciting, new directions.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In support of the rebranding effort, the firm has also introduced new logos for all three entities, with the Schmitt Marine logo subtly incorporating stylised S and O letters in homage to the original company names.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Subsequent phases of the rebranding process will include a website redesign, updated literature, and other marketing and sales collateral.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">source:ibi<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>New Schmitt Steering Wheels and Ongaro Marine business units to operate under Schmitt Marine corporate umbrella<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":4737,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[33],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4739","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-latest-news","entry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.boatshowchina.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4739","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.boatshowchina.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.boatshowchina.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.boatshowchina.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.boatshowchina.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4739"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.boatshowchina.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4739\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4740,"href":"https:\/\/www.boatshowchina.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4739\/revisions\/4740"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.boatshowchina.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/4737"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.boatshowchina.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4739"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.boatshowchina.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4739"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.boatshowchina.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4739"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
