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, 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 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.
