Welcome North American
Trading is a division of North American Fly, Ltd. The
company owner and president, Leland G. Christenson II,
founded North American Fly in 1984. In 1988 the business
moved to Strum, WI. and became known as Strum Hide and
Glove. The company's primary focus was to collect
Whitetail Deer hides from hunters in Minnesota and
Wisconsin. These hides were then sold to various
leather tanneries in the United States. In 1999,
North American Fly Ltd. began sending deer hides
directly to tanneries in Mainland China. The company
then started importing several different styles of
deerskin gloves for distribution in the United States.
Currently, North American Fly collects and exports over
1 million Deer hides to China annually. Because North
American Fly supplies the tanneries and factories with
such a large volume of raw material, very important
business relationships have been established.
In 2002, North American Trading was formed as the
driving force behind the importing and mass marketing of
the Deerskin and Elkskin gloves that the company sells
to distributors and retailers in the United States. The
product selection has been expanded to include styles
for work, hunting, dress, casual, motorcycle, and winter
sports. It is North American Trading's goal to provide
their customers with the highest quality gloves and
customer service available, at the lowest possible
price.
