ABOUT TIPPMANN

It's hard to believe that Tippmann has been in paintball for 25 years, but I'm even more excited now than when our company launched its very first marker back in 1986. Without question, both Tippmann - and the paintball industry - have come a long way over the years. 

SMG 60:	The first full-automatic paintball marker
68 Special:	The first gravity fed semi-auto paintball marker
Factory F/A:	The first forced fed hopper
A-5:	The first air powered forced fed hopper system
TiPX Pistol:	The first semi-auto .68 caliber pistol to provide a realistic, lightweight, compact look and feel
X7 Phenom:	The first spool valve marker to work electronically or mechanically

Last year alone saw the introduction of several new markers, including the Carver One in our popular U.S. Army line and the Tango One under the international TPN brand. We also launched the X7 Phenom Mechanical, updated the A-5 with several new features, and launched the Gryphon, a new Tippmann brand focusing on the entry-level player.

In addition to paintball markers, we also expanded our soft goods offering and added many new accessories and mods. And with the acquisition of NXe Paintball, a leading soft goods brand, we now have a full assortment of soft goods to offer. With the continued success of our Paintball Laser Tag line and the growth of our U.S. Army Paintball and TPN lines, we are confident we can help grow the sport.

As we head into our 25th year in paintball, I am also excited about our new ad campaign that focuses on our excellence in quality, innovation and service with a new logo and the words, “Experience. Excellence.” I can assure you that this excellence will continue as we aggressively plan to innovate in the paintball category, and also develop new programs to help drive more players to the game.

Tippmann is passionate about the sport, and we are eager to find new ways to reinvent ourselves. You have my commitment that we will continue to introduce quality, innovative and high performing products that we will stand behind with unmatched customer service. We would not have made it this long without the relationships we’ve formed with our customers over the years. As always, I personally appreciate your continued support and look to another great 25 years.
