Lebanon, NH (September 30, 2021) – MDV Sports has relocated to a new office space at the River Mill Commercial Center, in Lebanon, NH. The new space in a historic mill building, less than three miles from its previous office, will house all of Marker Dalbello Völkl sales, marketing and administrative staff and features a new showroom and meeting spaces.  

“This beautifully restored office complex is an exceptional reflection of our long standing snowsports brands that bring inspiring innovations with each winter season,” said Greg Grip, MDV Sports president.
