The Economic Impact of Going Green

(TEMPE, AZ) — Without a doubt, 2012 was Dixon Golf’s biggest year in its four year history. The Arizona-based eco-friendly golf ball manufacturer hired more people and donated more money than expected, making it the fastest-expanding company in the golf industry.

It’s no secret that helping charities and participating in golf tournaments and events is a big part of what Dixon Golf does. In calendar 2012, the company donated more than $400,000 in cash to many different charities in 25 states. This feat was accomplished through the company’s innovative on-course game, the Dixon Challenge.

To do all the work it takes to facilitate Dixon Golf’s charity work, the firm had to hire 250 full, part-time and contract employees and reps throughout the country. The company plans to hire an additional 100 employees nationwide in 2013.

“Nothing makes us more proud than our ability to support the three things that matter to us most: the environment, the economy and charities. We had this idea of saving the world one golf ball at a time, and it has really blossomed,” says Dixon Golf CEO William Carey.

While Dixon Golf was hiring more employees and donating money to different charities, they also found the time to revamp their product logos, come out with a new ladies golf ball, and release an updated apparel line.

Dixon Golf projects 2013 will see an even larger increase in both charitable donations and hiring. “We expect 2013 to eclipse 2012’s numbers as it relates to donations and hiring, and by a pretty substantial margin. We have some new things we’re working on for the upcoming year,” continues Carey.
