History of Sevylor

Sevylor's goal is simple: to produce high-quality, affordable inflatable water sports and recreation products that encourage people to get outside and enjoy the fun of the water!

Since its first international success in 1949 in France, Sevylor has built a reputation as a global market leader with unique designs, original inventions and rich imagination.

Sevylor PVC inflatables cover a wide range of activities including kayaks, boats and more. Seventy years of experience combined with the latest design technologies allow us to offer the most modern products that meet the highest quality level and ensure customer satisfaction.

Designed to be mobile and practical, all Sevylor products have one thing in common: to inspire people to get outside and have a great time. Sevylor takes fun seriously.

From Sevylor's founding in 1948 as a dominant supplier of a wide range of PVC inflatable kayaks, from river running kayaks to brightly colored beach balls, Sevylor continues to delight with unique designs and original inventions.

The first inflatable product to gain fame was a small bathtub called “Dou Dou”. Perfect for post-war France, the inflatable tub was portable, comfortable, practical, easy to clean, durable and, above all, cheaper than wooden or metal alternatives.

Sevy quickly outgrew its premises in Vitry, so the factory was moved to the picturesque Alsatian village of Buhl. After establishing the new headquarters and convinced of its golden potential, the company added the letters "l'or" (French for gold) to its name. The company expanded to develop valves, pumps, boats, inflatable pools and various water toys.

International expansion

Kayak Corp. of America signed an exclusive US distribution agreement with the company in 1959, selling Sevylor products at trade shows, sports shows and other events. Then Sevylor developed the first camping mattress, which was sold by Neiman Marcus for 15 years before anyone else, even Sevylor, started selling these popular velor air beds.

As the potential of PVC products increased, Sevylor developed a PVC that had “memory”, the ability of PVC to return to its original shape regardless of temperature.

It wasn't until 1962 that Sevylor made inflatable history in the United States when they launched the inflatable pool mattress with headrest and round pockets. This design provided cushioning comfort while keeping the wearer cool. And when the pockets filled with water, it provided ballast to keep the mattress from wobbling. Soon after, Sevylor moved on to other areas of development, including the Tahiti™ Kayak and more.

In 1972, Sevylor France bought out Kayak Corp. and a new company, Sevylor USA Inc., was formed. with Konya Klimenko in the lead. It began developing products exclusively for the US market.

Zodiac Group, a world leader in the production of heavy-duty inflatable vehicles for military and expeditionary use, took over Sevylor France and all its subsidiaries in 1981. Sevylor was reorganized into two separate divisions: Sevylor International (above ground pools) and Sevylor® (recreational inflatables).

A history of innovation


This move gave Sevylor and Klimenko more freedom and opportunity to develop new products and explore new markets. The invention of the Ski Bob™ in 1986 was a real turning point that paved the way for the entire towable machine business. In the fall of 2006, Sevylor was acquired by Stearns Inc., a subsidiary of Newell Brands, known for its marine and outdoor products, headquartered in St. Cloud, Minnesota.

Today, Sevylor's innovative designs cover a wide range from inflatable boats to attractive swimming aids, and currently market a variety of products including hunting and fishing boats, specialized boats and kayaks, and other accessories.

All of Sevylor's high quality products feature construction and materials designed for safety and long life.
