Brown Jordan has entered into a licensing agreement with Connecticut-based CT Acquisitions to develop and market a collection of outdoor kitchens.

The Brown Jordan Outdoor Kitchen collection will include a range of cabinetry designs and styles developed in collaboration with CT Acquisitions, maker of Danver Stainless Steel Cabinetry.

“CT Acquisitions is a pioneer in the industry of outdoor kitchens and has been accelerating market development over the past decade,” said Chris Carmicle, president of Brown Jordan Co. “They have a proven track record of high quality and innovation, which are a core tenant of Brown Jordan. By offering the most extensive selection of outdoor kitchen cabinetry and related equipment in the industry, the Brown Jordan collection will reflect the outdoor leisure and entertaining heritage of our brand.”

The Brown Jordan collection will combine the durability of stainless steel with various customized wood grain patterns, designer paint colors and textures that require minimal maintenance.

“We are excited to offer discerning trade customers a toolkit with which to build value into their designs helping them express their vision and creativity for consumer’s outdoor living environment,” said Mitch Slater, president of Danver. “As the industry leader, we feel confident that Brown Jordan can accelerate the overall consumer, designer and architect community awareness and penetration of this category—and we’re excited to provide both new and existing channel partners with a functional and profitable outdoor kitchen collection that emphasizes great style and creative choice. The Brown Jordan name is synonymous with outdoor entertainment and leisure and we’re proud to partner with them to launch a new, innovative product line.”

The collection will be available to the trade at select dealers and Brown Jordan Showrooms and via consumer retail at specialty outdoor and other dealers in 2012.
