Protective Optics Changes Name Remington Presents Sales Awards A fter more than two decades developing Wiley X eyewear, Protective Optics Inc. has changed its name to Wiley X Inc. Officials say the company has worked to raise brand awareness within each of its target markets. “Wiley X may have built its foundation as a provider of protective eyewear for the military, but the brand has grown to now resonate among enthusiasts within industries such as fishing, snowboarding, motorcycles, NASCAR, hunting, law enforcement and casual wear. We are thrilled to officially incorporate the company’s new name,” said Myles J. Freeman, vice president of sales. The company also announced it will be the primary sponsor on Jim Yates’ Pro Stock Pontiac for the 2008 NHRA POWERade season. “Jim Yates has the Wiley X Sunglass Machine Team moving in a positive direction, so this commitment should only further help develop Wiley X branding,” Freeman said. One of the most recognizable names in NHRA Drag Racing, Jim Yates is a two-time POWERade Pro Stock champion. “We have thoroughly enjoyed working with the great family at Wiley X during the past two years,” Yates said. “I have the best of both worlds. I am involved with a great family and I get to promote the excellent line of Wiley X eyewear through the NHRA.” For more information, call Wiley X Inc. at 1-800-776-7842 or visit www.wileyx.com.
