About Us

Lakewood was started in Rhinelander Wisconsin by Bob Metropolis around 35 years ago.  The name Lakewood is a play on Lake (water, tackle storage) and Wood (hunting and shooting). Our parent company Midwest Textile manufactured bags for them many years ago.  Bob sold Lakewood to Berlin Glove which sold to the Hess Family.  We got a call from the Hess’s, and they offered to sell us the company knowing we knew how to make the products.

Most of our products are developed by specialists that Hunt, Fish, or do shooting sports for a living or are heavily engaged.  We listen to what the market is looking for and make products to fit those ideas. Our products are unique as they are made of extremely heavy-duty ABS with a durable soft exterior.  Tested over time we have proven they are some of the best cases in the industries. 

Our products carry a money back guarantee and a limited lifetime warranty.  Check us out; you will be glad you did.  We would love to have you in the Lakewood family.

Sincerely,

Owner: Steve Wagnitz
