New Zealand based manufacturer of mounting systems, RAILBLAZA, has just completed the purchase of New Zealand’s C-TUG Kayak and Canoe Trolleys. This acquisition expands an already well-established product line, providing greater value to RAILBLAZA’s dealer network internationally. With all products designed and made in New Zealand, quality is strictly controlled.
“This is a really exciting step for RAILBLAZA. We want our customers to see a great product at a reasonable price, making their buying decision an easy one. To achieve this we’ll be reducing the price of C-TUG trolleys worldwide. This supports our dealers, delivers better value to kayakers, and helps us gain market share,” says RAILBLAZA’s founder Ross Pratt.
C-TUG has been exporting to Australia, North America and Europe for six years, and is considered the premier kayak and canoe trolley on the market. RAILBLAZA is only three years old and already exports to over 30 countries. Both RAILBLAZA and C-TUG have experienced double-digit growth over the past few years, and this is set to accelerate in the future, assisted by the synergies created by the acquisition.
The C-TUG team have listened to market feedback, and improved the design over the years, to the point where no other trolley on the market offers the same reliability and features. RAILBLAZA will continue to offer the latest model which comes with puncture-free, hi-grip wheels. Other models will be run out over the coming months. Also available is the optional Sidewinder sand wheel attachment for greater portability on soft sand.
