About Kent Sporting Goods Company
Over 50 years ago, the Kent Sporting Goods Company was founded
as a subsidiary of Eagle Rubber Company, a manufacturer of
football gear, helmets, and uniforms, based in Batesville,
Mississippi. In 1959, the company moved to New London, Ohio. Some
of the first products to come off the manufacturing line were
U.S. Coast Guard-approved life jackets, golf bags, ing bags,
and outdoor lawn games and accessories.
In 1981, under new ownership, the Kent brand became a major
factor in the Type I kapok commercial vest market and Type II
commodity market. About a year later, a small company in Celina,
Ohio, with a brand niche in water skis, ropes, and vests,
approached Kent and asked them to manufacture their ski vests.
This was the beginning of Kent's quest to be a major player in
the water sports, marine, and PFD (personal flotation device)
industry.
Starting in 2001, the shareholders of Kent started several
corporations that acquired the assets of other popular water
sports corporations and their respective brands. Some of these
include Connelly, CWB, HO, Hyperlite, O'Brien, Liquid Force,
Straight Line, and Wakekite, all specializing in a full line of
high-action recreational water sports products including
wakeboards, kneeboards, kiteboards, towable tubes, skis, ropes,
and life jackets. These products can be found at most specialty
shops, pro shops, and big box retailers.
In 2009, Kent introduced two other innovative brands to the
marketplace under the Absolute Outdoor corporation marketed as
Full Throttle and Onyx. Full Throttle is a premium water sports
brand featuring life jackets, tubes, wakeboards, and kneeboards
for today's active lifestyles. Onyx is an outdoor recreation
brand consisting of rainwear, paddling vests, and inflatable PFDs
for fishing and hunting, all designed to keep you outdoors
longer.
Today, Kent and its controlled group of companies offer a
multi-brand portfolio of water sports and marine products. These
companies and brands provide innovative, well-designed,
functional gear for the water sports and outdoor enthusiasts
looking to satisfy their active lifestyle and water or outdoor
activities.
Kent Sporting Goods Company is located in New London, Ohio.
