These brands don’t just sell products — they connect with passions, values, and identity.
Our Philosopy
From a single retail store a few years ago, our group philosophy has evolved with every expanding step. We have embraced a vertically integrated business model and subsequently invested in owner-managed businesses that operate with a great deal of independence. Outdoor Investment Holdings now consists of two independent wholesale businesses with a combined 60 years of trading history in South Africa, as well as the leading large-format outdoor sporting goods retailer in Africa.
Our Vision & Driving Force
Our vision is to be one of the leading and most respected vertically integrated manufacturing, wholesale and retail business, serving the outdoor industry.
Our Philosophy
We strive to create an entrepreneurial ethos with strong incentives for performance. We believe in tight centralised financial control linked to a low cost operating model.
Our Core Competence
• Independently financed and managed divisions.
• A clearly articulated and communicated strategic plan at a group and operational level.
