Over sixty years ago Norm Coghlan founded Coghlan’s Ltd. with the Camp Stove Toaster, establishing the foundation for what would become the largest single brand of camping accessories in the world. Prior to forming his own company, Norm Coghlan sold lanterns, camp stoves, and parts primarily to the hardware market in the United States and Canada.
Coghlan's Ltd. provides outdoor camping accessories now. The Company offers winter gears, air pumps, candles, lighting, clip-ons, compasses, signalling devices, survival gear, utensils, knives, tools, lighters, hygiene products, rainwear, storage bags, containers, ropes, cords, and other products.
Their products can be found in major outdoor retail outlets such as REI and Cabela's in the United States and Mountain Equipment Co-op in Canada.
