Clearwater, Florida – Sea Hawk has welcomed Paxton Company as its newest authorized distributor servicing the company’s wholesale marine customers from facilities in Virginia and North Carolina. With products being in stock since mid-December, Paxton is already providing customers with Sea Hawk’s comprehensive portfolio of premium quality antifouling paints, primers, and marine coating products.
