Kore Outdoor

Kore Outdoor is a Canadian company based in Saint-Laurent, Montréal, that makes and distributes paintballs, paintball markers and related accessories for fields and stores around the world. Its roots go back to the 1980s, when paintball first started, and it now brings several long-running brands together under one roof: Tippmann, Empire, JT, G.I. Sportz, Spyder and VForce. The company runs 11 locations in four countries with around 250 full-time staff, and its range covers everything from entry-level kit to high-end tournament gear. For airsoft players the link is Tippmann Tactical, the airsoft side of the group, which sells airsoft guns, BBs, goggles, magazines, parts and HPA vests through its Air Raid shop, alongside Empire airsoft goggles. Kore also supports the sport by sponsoring tournament teams, scenario and big game events.
