Legacy Made-in-USA Camping & Tactical Cot Manufacturer
Business Description
Domestic Production | Hybrid Manufacturing Model with Growth Upside
This is a rare opportunity to acquire a long-standing American manufacturing business specializing in durable portable sleeping systems used in demanding environments. Established more than four decades ago, the company has built a strong reputation for quality, reliability, and U.S.-based production.
Products are manufactured through a hybrid domestic model using American-sourced materials and are inspected in-house prior to shipment. The brand serves a diverse customer base across direct-to-consumer, wholesale, and institutional channels, including military, emergency response, and outdoor recreation markets.
Unlike trend-driven consumer brands, this business benefits from repeat institutional demand, mission-critical use cases, and a legacy product line known for long service life and durability. Customers frequently return for replacements, upgrades, and large-quantity orders tied to training, deployment, and response operations.
Operations are streamlined with manageable staffing, established supplier relationships, and scalable production capacity. Fulfillment is currently handled in-house with plans underway to transition to a third-party logistics provider, offering immediate operational upside for a new owner.
Significant growth opportunities exist through expanded government procurement, additional distributor relationships, new product launches currently in development, and broader outreach to adjacent institutional and outdoor segments.
This opportunity is well-suited for a strategic buyer, manufacturer, or entrepreneur seeking an established U.S.-made brand with proven demand, defensible positioning, and meaningful growth potential.
