The Full Story
Dennis Tippmann Sr. started Tippmann Pneumatics in the 1980's which later became Tippmann Sports. He made Tippmann Paintball guns but also had a love for working with leather. He was unable to find equipment powerful enough to do the leather work that he wanted so he manufactured his own. The Tippmann Boss leather sewing machine and the Clicker 1500 die cutter along with a few others.
I grew up working alongside my dad at both the paintball and leather sewing machine businesses. Over the years I also developed a love for manufacturing and leather work. I started making things for myself such as belts, holsters, saddle bags for my motorcycle, wallets etc... Using my dad's heavier duty sewing machines and other equipment I was able to make sturdy belts which lasted a long time. Friends and family asked me to make belts for them too. They loved them so much that I decided to start manufacturing them full time. I started Tippmann Belts in January 2021. I got off to kind of a rough start but now things are starting to come together.
I buy high quality, heavy leather to make long lasting, sturdy belts. We build all the belts by hand using the equipment I grew up manufacturing. We design and build everything here, at our factory in Fort Wayne, Indiana. I put my heart into everything I do and I sincerely hope you love our products.
