Johnson Outdoors Inc. is a publicly traded company on NASDAQ (JOUT). The Eureka! Tent Division has more than a century of tent and soft shelter experience and is a leading full line tent manufacturer with design capabilities that serve camping, military and commercial canopy/rental markets.
Eureka! was established in 1895 as a small custom canvas shop that designed and sewed house and store awnings, Conestoga wagon covers, horse blankets, American flags, and – of course – tents.
Eureka! became a major manufacturing facility in the 1940's when World War II erupted and demand for tents skyrocketed. During World War II, we manufactured hundreds of hospital ward tents. In the 50's, many returning G.I.'s purchased mobile homes in the housing shortage, and bought trailer awnings from Eureka!. In the Vietnam campaign, Eureka! produced liners for thousands of Quonset huts.
