Outdoor & Hunting

Over the past 3 years C.R. Kennedy have been actively moving into the hunting and outdoor industry. In this short time C.R. Kennedy has been able to add several new lines to its portfolio. It is quickly gaining recognition as a major new supplier to this industry.

This is not the first venture into this industry as C.R. Kennedy once imported firearms and related accessories during its earlier days.

C.R. Kennedy is looking to establish positive and long relationships with all of its new suppliers. Among our other divisions we have partnerships with some suppliers that are now beyond 50 years. We see the value in working with companies with a strong business acumen and have a long history of success.

It is the intention of C.R. Kennedy to quickly grow our latest division, so it too becomes a major part of business. We will continue to add further lines and put the right people in place to best support this new industry.
