OUR HISTORY
Clipper International Corp. incorporating Clipper Trading Co Pty Ltd, was established in 1956 and the Caribee brand has been available in the Australian market since the mid 1960's. As both the company and brand grew, so did the Caribee brands position in the Australian outdoor & travel industry. From the outset, the Caribee brand has created products that provide consumers with great value for money and class leading quality.
Continual growth and a growing market following allowed Clipper International to continually develop and expand it’s office and warehouse facilities. Located just 3km from both the Sydney CBD and the international airport, our modern 6,000 square meter office/warehouse complex boasts the latest in technology to ensure all orders and stock are processed efficiently and effectively.
As well as our focus on Caribee branded products, Clipper International also operates as a distributor for international travel, sports, luggage and outdoor brands. Over the years we have introduced and distributed brands such as Camelbak, Wenger, Streamlight, Rider footwear, Sherpani and more. Our position as a leading wholesaler in the Australian travel and outdoor market allows us to effectively represent international brands in the Australian market.
OUR NAME
Believe it or not, we are an Aussie company with a South American derived name. Caribee’s name comes from a South American piranha like species know scientifically as the Pygocentrus nattereri or Caribe. Its compact size masks the fact that it is a dominant and resilient species in its environment. A creature to be taken seriously. At Caribee we take this same approach with our brand and products we make.
