    BlackHawk's Latest Acquisition Will Keep Shooters On Target

    Nov. 6, 2007
    The acquisition enables Knoxx to leverage BlackHawk's world-class design, tooling and injection molding capabilities.

    NORFOLK, Va. - Oct. 18, 2007 - Today BlackHawk? Products Group completed the acquisition of Knoxx Industries, the leader in recoil solutions. The acquisition enables Knoxx to leverage BlackHawk's world-class design, tooling and injection molding capabilities. In turn the endeavor will further expand BlackHawk's product line, offering Knoxx's leading edge recoil suppression technology for shotguns and rifles to its law enforcement and military customers. This technology eliminates 95% of perceived felt recoil allowing shooters to shoot more, stay on target and follow up faster.

    Mike Noell, President and CEO of BlackHawk Products Group, is thrilled about this new venture. He said, "Knoxx has done an outstanding job designing innovative products and developing its brand in the marketplace. This is such a great match for both companies. BlackHawk will get a new line of outstanding products and Knoxx will be able to accelerate product development and extend market reach."

    Knoxx, founded in 1998, will relocate its operations from Paso Robles, California. Product will now be manufactured at BlackHawk's Boise facility with new inventory ready for BlackHawk dealers January of 2008. Jim Bently, Founder and CEO, will move to Boise and work with BlackHawk's Idaho and Montana design teams while Gary Cauble, Knoxx President, will join BlackHawk at its corporate headquarters in Norfolk, Virginia.

    Mr. Cauble is looking forward to joining the BlackHawk team. He said, "We have been extremely gratified with the acceptance of Knoxx by the military, law enforcement and outdoors markets. Joining the BlackHawk team will enable Knoxx to speed up product development and get its products in the hands of more shooters around the world."
