ABOUT US

 

RICSWELL DISTRIBUTION IS NOT ONLY ONE OF THE MOST INNOVATIVE GERMAN SKATEBOARD AND FASHION DISTRIBUTIONS, RICSWELL DISTRIBUTION IS AN IDEA, A PHILOSOPHY OF SKATEBOARD TRADITION AND YOUNG ART DESIGN.

THE FOUNDER AND MANAGER OF RICSWELL DISTRIBUTION, DANIEL RICO ARGÜELLES WORKS MEANWHILE FOR OVER 20 YEARS IN THE SKATEBOARD BUSINESS.
HE HAD THE GREAT LUCK TO WORK FOR THE BIGGEST DISTRIBUTIONS AT THAT TIME IN THE SKATEBOARD BUSINESS IN GERMANY. HE MADE HIMSELF AN IMPORTANT NAME BY SERVING NUMBEROUS SHOPS IN THE COUNTRY WITH THE NEWEST COLLECTIONS. FIRST AS REPRESENTATIVE AGENT WITH HIS OWN COMMERCIAL AGENCY, LATER THEN AS SALES MANAGER.
HE WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR MANY PRODUCT INTRODUCTIONS OF LEADING AMERICAN SKATEBOARD LABEL. HE PLACED LABEL LIKE VOLCOM, VANS, INDEPENDENT, WESTBEACH, ELWOOD, AESTHETICS, CLICHE AND SOME OTHER BRANDS IN THE GERMAN SKATEBOARD MARKET.

AFTER HE HAD SOLD VERY SUCCESSFULLY AS A COMMERCIAL AGENCY FOR THE LEADING DISTRIBUTIONS IN GERMANY HE DECIDED TO TAKE THE NEXT STEP. HE WANTED TO LEARN THE SKILLS OF SKATEBOARD SHAPING AND PRODUCTION.
THAT’S WHY HE SEARCHED FOR THE BEST SKATEBOARD PRODUCER AND FINALY FOUND WOODCHUCKLAMINATES IN MONTREAL.
IN 1996 HE STARTED WORKING FOR WOODCHUCK. FIRST IN THE PRODUCTION THAN HE MOVED ON AS EUROPEEN SALES MANAGER AND SOLD PREMIUMWOOD SKATEBOARDS AND WOODCHUCKLAMINATES PRODUCTS TO MANY EUROPEAN DISTRIBUTIONS TILL 2000.

BACK IN GERMANY HE WENT INTO THE OLD BUISINESS WITH MUCH MORE KNOW HOW AND THE IDEA TO BUILD NEW SKATE LABEL. HE HELPED TO DEVELOP TWO NEW SKATE BRANDS THAT ARE STILL BIG IN THE GERMAN MARKET. ALSO HE WAS LEADING THE SALES IN AUSTRIA, SWITZERLAND AND SPAIN, HIS HOMELAND.

AFTER SHORT ABSENCE IN THE FILM BRANCH AND AS A PRESENTER, DANIEL ESTABLISHED IN JANUARY 2013 RICSWELL DISTRIBUTION.

ABOUT THE YEARS DANIEL GOT TO KNOW MANY DIFFERENT PEOPLE OF THE SKATEBOARD SCENE, MANY OF THEM BECAME GOOD FRIENDS.
SKATEBOARDING IS ALWAYS IN OUR HEARTS AND HAVING BEEN INVOLVED IN SKATEBOARDING FOR MANY YEARS GIVES US A GOOD UNDERSTANDING OF WHAT OUR CUSTOMERS WANTS AND NEEDS ARE.
