Taylor Made

What Taylor Made does

Taylor Made is a US-based marine products manufacturer founded in 1920 and headquartered in Oviedo, Florida, operating as a subsidiary of the Lippert (LCI1) conglomerate with 1,001-5,000 employees. The company produces a broad portfolio of marine accessories including fenders and buoys, semi-custom and aftermarket boat covers, bimini tops and shades, dock products (bumpers, boxes, carts, floats), mooring and safety equipment, boat seats and furniture, maintenance products, and boat flags and poles. Taylor Made also serves boat builders and OEMs directly with specialized glass, windshield, and canvas/fabric solutions.

The company operates a hybrid B2B/B2C go-to-market: consumer-facing products are distributed through a network of authorized retail dealers (via a 'Find a Retailer' locator), the Lippert e-commerce storefront (store.lci1.com/taylor-made), and dedicated sub-brand sites for T-Top covers (ttopcoversforboats.com) and Ameritex canvas (ameritexdirect.com), while OEM/boat builder relationships are managed through dedicated direct-sales capabilities. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; customers are directed to dealers or to contact the company directly. Supporting the sales funnel is a content marketing layer including blog buying guides, product video guides, FAQs, and an online Boat Cover & Bimini Fit Selector.

Revenue is generated through one-time sales of physical marine accessories across multiple categories. The business has operated for over 100 years, building brand equity in the recreational boating market, and is now embedded within Lippert's broader marine, RV, and outdoor recreation portfolio. No public revenue figures, funding history, or detailed financial disclosures are available; AI/ML capabilities are not evident in the product portfolio or disclosed technology stack.
