Can you give us a brief history of Enola Gaye?
Enola Gaye has been manufacturing smoke grenades since 1996; it started by offering colored
smoke to local paintball fields in the UK which we
designed and built in a small factory in the north
of England. From here we have opened up dealerships all over the globe including USA, Canada,
NZ and all of Europe.
We have been making consumer
pyrotechnics for almost ten years
in the UK and are a household
name there. We are especially
known for our colored smoke grenades in airsoft and paintball. We
have been selling our products in
the US for almost three years now.
How did the Paintball
Extravaganza go for
you?
It was great! This is our second
year attending. We met lots of new
dealers and field owners who were
interested in integrating smoke
grenades into their fields and pro
shops. It was also good to hear
feedback from our currents dealers who already sell our smoke
products.
Also a new product is our larger EG18 Assault
smoke grenade which comes in 8 different
smoke colors including our new non-toxic Black
smoke. This unit dispenses 3 times as much
smoke as our standard Wire Pull smoke but does
it in the same average 90 seconds.
What are your best selling
products and why?
Our best selling product is
our 90 second burn Wire Pull
Smoke Grenade because it is
our most cost effective product
at $7-$8 MSRP and it provides
great bang for your buck. This
smoke grenade is available in
7 different smoke colors.
Anything new in
the works that you
can tell us about?
We are always developing new
products but keep an eye on
our Paint and Field Grenades
and also we are developing
a Flash Grenade for the US
market.
