Gerber Legendary Blades Acquires CMG Equipment

Portland, OR January 17 2004--Gerber Legendary Blades®, known internationally for quality knives, multi-tools and outdoor recreational gear, has acquired CMG Equipment, LLC. CMG is recognized as a leading manufacturer and marketer of Light Emitting Diode (L.E.D.)-based portable outdoor lighting products. L.E.D. technology, with virtually indestructible bulbs that burn for over 100,000 hours and consume a fraction of the energy of their incandescent peers, is reshaping the portable lighting industry.

CMG's innovative lights will form the foundation of a complete Gerber L.E.D. lighting line, with additional products to be released later this year. The company's operations will be relocated from Chicago to Gerber's headquarters in Portland, Oregon.

"With the acquisition of CMG and the launch of our lighting line, Gerber is taking another step in our development as a world-class outdoor recreation company," said Gerber President Chad Vincent. "The L.E.D. lighting market is positioned for explosive growth, and the products, expertise and technology CMG brings to Gerber will help us capitalize on that opportunity."

Gerber Legendary Blades has long been recognized as a leading manufacturer of world-class knives, multi-function tools and outdoor recreational products for discerning sportsmen and outdoor enthusiasts. The company specializes in general purpose and activity specific models, including the Gerber AR 3.00™ Series of one-handed opening knives and the MULTI-PLIER® 600 Series of one-handed opening multi-tools.
