Bestop, a leading manufacturer of Jeep soft tops and accessories, today announced that it has acquired Tuffy Security Products of Cortez, Colo.
Known for “Serious Theft Protection,” Tuffy engineers and manufactures heavy duty security boxes, cases and containers for both recreational and professional vehicles.
“Tuffy has firmly established itself as a trail-blazer in the security products category and we’re excited to add them to the Bestop family of premium brands,” says Bestop CEO John Larson.
Tuffy represents the second add-on acquisition for Bestop in 2016. In June, the company acquired leading vehicle lights manufacturer, Baja Designs. The acquisition complements Bestop’s existing lockbox business, and is in line with the company’s commitment to deliver the highest-quality products to its distributors, jobbers, and consumers.
“Bestop is growing both organically and through acquisitions,” adds Larson. “At the same time, we continue to invest in brand development, aggressive product innovation, and working with our retail partners to drive the best-possible consumer experience.”
“The Tuffy and Bestop teams have a common mission – to help people to better enjoy off-roading by delivering product excellence and leadership,” says Tuffy Founder and President, Shawn Gregory. “We are both committed to solving issues that get in the way of having fun – and off-roaders are going to be excited to see what these two leading brands come up with.”
