Peregrine Outfitters has been notified by Thermo Fisher Scientific, manufacturers of Nalgene Outdoor Products that their distribution agreement will end March 5, 2008 after 18 years spent working together.

Bob Olsen, President of Peregrine Outfitters said, “Were sorry that they have chosen to take this step. Our decision to add a competing brand conflicted with their plan for the Nalgene® brand.
