American Outdoor Brands Corp. said Aug. 14 that its accessories unit Battenfeld Technologies has completed its acquisition of the assets of Fish Tales LLC for about $12.0 million.
Battenfeld Technologies will start transitioning the business of the sportsman knife and tool provider, which includes the Bubba Blade knife brand, to its facility in Columbia, Mo.
The purchase allows American Outdoor to branch out into fishing accessories, while growing the portfolio of brands intended to expand the group's presence in the knife and tool market. That includes Taylor Brands LLC, which it bought in August 2016.
