The company has sold the wood pellet manufacturer to Lignetics, Inc.

Revelyst, a collective of world-class maker brands that design and manufacture performance gear and precision technologies and a segment of Vista Outdoor Inc. (NYSE: VSTO), today announced the sale of the assets of Fiber Energy Products, the company’s wood pellet manufacturer, to Lignetics, Inc.

Fiber Energy began producing 100 percent all-natural wood pellet fuel in 2006. Over time, Fiber Energy has become a manufacturer of BBQ and grilling pellets and premium hardwood and softwood heating pellets throughout the midwestern and southern United States. The sale of Fiber Energy is integral to Revelyst’s ongoing GEAR Up transformation. The strategic divestiture allows Revelyst to rebalance its portfolio and focus on its highest-value brands and most profitable segments to drive future growth.

“Lignetics is the right partner at the right time for Fiber Energy,” said Jordan Judd, President of Revelyst Outdoor Performance. “Lignetics’ ownership of Fiber Energy will provide the resources and scale that will enable Fiber Energy to reach its full potential, while the sale generates cash for Revelyst that can be reinvested in our power brands and product innovation in support of our GEAR Up growth initiative.”

Baird served as exclusive financial adviser and Reed Smith LLP served as legal adviser to Revelyst on this transaction.
