About Kent Sporting Goods Company
Over 50 years ago, the Kent Sporting Goods Company used to be 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. One of the most first products to come off the manufacturing line were U.S. Coast Guard-approved life jackets, golf bags, bowling 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 used to be 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. A few 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 also 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 outside 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 way of life and water or outdoor activities.
Kent Sporting Goods Company is located in New London, Ohio.
