Banded Holdings Inc. of Springdale said Wednesday that it has acquired Avery Outdoors Inc. of Memphis.
Avery makes waterfowl hunting gear under the Avery, Greenhead Gear and Avery Sporting Dog brands. The price of the deal was not disclosed, but Avery’s operations will be absorbed by Banded at its northwest Arkansas headquarters.
The company will maintain an office in Memphis.
In March, Banded announced its move from Fayetteville to a 48,000-SF facility in Springdale. Banded Holdings designs and produces waterfowl hunting apparel and lifestyle apparel products under the Banded brand.

“This new venture represents the coming together of two of the most talented and experienced staffs in the industry to offer the best in innovative waterfowl hunting and outdoor gear,” Banded CEO Chuck Browning said in a news release.
