Coghlan's - The Outdoor Accessory People

 Coghlan’s was incorporated on April 15, 1959. Prior to forming his own company, Norm Coghlan was a regional sales representative for Coleman in western Canada. He joined Coleman in 1947 and was their youngest salesman in both the United States and Canada.

The business continued to grow and expand. Many items are bought in bulk with the packaging being done in Minneapolis and in Winnipeg.

In many instances Coghlan’s owns the tooling and has items made for them by outside sources. The best example is the very first item – the Camp Stove Toaster. The company which it was originally purchased from decided to discontinue it, so tooling was developed and the Camp Stove Toaster has been made in Winnipeg since the mid-1960’s. Coghlan's have assembled and packaged over 7 million 504D Toasters.

In the early years, Norm Coghlan traveled to large European camping shows looking for new and unique items. We have now exhibited in these European trade shows and have distributors selling our products in over 25 countries.

Coghlan's believes its success is attributed to marketing a better quality product with attractive packaging. Superior customer service and huge inventories guarantees on-time delivery. Coghlan's is without question the Number One outdoor accessory line in the United States and Canada. Today, with the next generation of Coghlan's taking over the guidance of this family business, that well deserved reputation will undoubtedly be assured for many years into the future.
