=== Acquisition by GI Sportz ===

On 24 July 2015, [[GI Sportz]] announced that it had acquired KEE Action Sports.

The transaction transferred KEE's established brands and equipment operations into the Canadian paintball manufacturer's wider portfolio.

GI Sportz chairman and chief executive officer [[Richmond Italia]] described the acquisition as part of the company's strategy to consolidate manufacturing, distribution and industry resources.[4]

The acquisition also brought together KEE's established American distribution network with GI Sportz's paintball manufacturing operations.

The KEE businesses were subsequently integrated into the GI Sportz corporate structure.

Following GI Sportz's financial restructuring in 2020, the combined group's operations were transferred to the newly established [[Kore Outdoor]].

Kore continued operating several brands previously associated with KEE, including Empire, JT and Spyder.[8]
