Thumpy Covey's insight:

CYBERGUN has announced a reorganization of its USA based businesses among other topics covered with a release/presentation from France this morning…NEWS LINK HERE, turn on your native translation…and a second News Link HERE

As this announcement comes directly after the IWA Show in Germany, there seems to be some major hurdles still ahead for the re-grouping effort for airsoft’s biggest public company.  Also included in the announcements were issues with their plans to bring .22cal real steel training guns online…and the loss of a large customer (WalMart, perhaps?) that accounted for more than 30% of their USA business…but at the same time an apparent announcement of new sales to TARGET stores starting soon…

Also posted via the Cybergun FB fan page were some sightings inside the IWA display…

"...PLEASE NOTE: We are pursuing legal action against the counterfeiters, and we will also take action against any retailer who offers finished goods made from these counterfeit fabrics.

Once again – the only approved sources for genuine PenCott camouflage fabrics are us (Hyde Definition), MMI Textiles and Tacticaltrim.

Get the edge – get GENUINE PenCott camouflage!..."

Thumpy Covey's insight:

Good for them!  Cracking down on illegal manufacture is one thing, but "Wouldn't it have been easier to just destroy the product that didn't meet their specs?"   It was not ups to Hyde, as they explain in this piece...but a carefully written contract with the offending mill could also "nip this in the bud."


Thanks to Lawrence Holsworth for the great explainer post on the website! FoT!

They are looking into licensing their products to any interested company, though they will need more convincing. Their message,posted on Facebook, can also be read below:


Attention everyone.

FAKE PRODUCTS. They exist. We will not mention any companies as we don't deem them worthy of this, but please watch out.

Zenit has not given permission to, endorsed, or supported any of the companies currently producing these copies...."
