Blue Point-Backed Weaver Leather Partners with Rex Specs for Premium Dog Products

Cleveland, OH - Blue Point Capital Partners and its portfolio company, Weaver Leather, have announced their partnership with Rex Specs, a premium brand of outdoor products for active and working canines. This acquisition is a significant move for Weaver Leather, marking their second add-on acquisition since partnering with Blue Point in March 2021.

Rex Specs was founded in 2015 by Aiden and Jesse Emilo, who were in search of high-quality protective eyewear for their active dogs. Recognizing a gap in the market, they decided to create their own line of canine goggles and other accessories. Built on the principle of "life is better together," Rex Specs has dedicated itself to providing innovative products that enhance the lives and adventures of dogs worldwide.

"We are thrilled to partner with Weaver Leather," said Aiden Emilo, co-founder of Rex Specs.

With Weaver's experience and passion for excellence, we believe they are the ideal partner to help us scale our brand."

"Rex Specs has become a category leader in the outdoor canine products niche, and we are excited to have them join the Weaver family of companies," said Jason Weaver, CEO of Weaver Leather. "We look forward to leveraging our resources and expertise to expand their customer base, enhance their distribution network, and introduce new products under the Rex Specs brand."

With the support of Blue Point's team and enhanced supply chain, e-commerce, and marketing resources, Weaver Leather aims to drive the strategic expansion and growth of Rex Specs in the coming years. Both companies share a passion for delivering premium, high-quality products and are well-positioned to meet the demands of the growing pet market.

Charley Geiger, Partner at Blue Point, expressed enthusiasm for the partnership, saying, "We are thrilled to support the growth of Rex Specs as it becomes part of the Weaver portfolio of brands. Together, we can drive strategic expansion and capitalize on the increasing demand for premium pet products."

Rex Specs, based in Jackson, Wyoming, is dedicated to developing innovative, premium products that bridge the gap between the working animal industry and the active pet market. Their commitment to quality and improving the lives of canines has earned them a loyal customer base.

Weaver Leather offers a wide range of products, including leather, nylon/synthetic, hardware, and other accessories. Known for their superior craftsmanship and extensive product offering, Weaver has established itself as a leader in its industry.
