| About Fox Outdoor Products |
Since 1982, Fox Outdoor Products has been a
direct importer and distributors of military, tactical and
outdoor gear. Located in suburban Chicago, the company traces
its roots back to World War II when founder Harry Fox realized
the niche market for selling military surplus goods.
Establishing relationships with the U.S. government and other
suppliers, he built a solid business throughout the; 50's and
60's, selling to an expanding group of retail locations across
the country.
In response to dwindling surplus goods after the war, Mr. Fox
became one of the first in the business to tap the overseas
market and establish direct import relationships with businesses
in Taiwan, Japan, Korea and others. These suppliers were able to
supplement the military surplus inventory with a wide range of
basic camping, sporting and other outdoor clothing and
equipment. In 1970, Mr. Fox sold the original business and went
into retirement.
In partnership with his nephew Daniel Fox, Harry came out of
retirement in 1981 and founded the current Fox Outdoor Products
company, becoming full-service, direct importers and wholesale
distributors of a wide range of products to retail businesses
around the world. Returning to their roots, the company's focus
was on new and used military surplus - both domestic and foreign
- supplemented with a basic line of outdoor, camping and
sporting equipment and clothing. This synergy of military
surplus and basic product line became the core of Fox Outdoor
Products.
Since Harry's death in 1991, Daniel Fox has continued to expand
the business and to maintain a clear, strategic direction by
supplying the many trades the company services with a basic
assortment of quality merchandise at reasonable prices.
Professional, direct and personal service coming from an
extremely knowledgeable and hard-working staff, drives the
business and helps to guarantee customer loyalty and
satisfaction.
Today, Fox Outdoor Products has a large distribution facility
with state-of-the art warehouse, shipping, and receiving
facilities; publishes a full-color,132-page catalog with a
diverse listing of over 3000 products; and, markets its products
