About Kitanica the company:
Kitanica is a word derived from “chitin” pronounced (pronounced Kәi•tin), a key component of insect exoskeletons. Due to the overbuilt nature of their designs, Kitanica arrived at the name as it best described their mission to make the most functional and durable gear possible. Kitanica is a family owned and operated business run by Beej Cronin, his brother Chris Cronin and their cousin Leonard Riccio. Beej Cronin is Chief of Design, while Len Riccio is Chief Operating Officer and Chief Financial Officer, and Chris Cronin serves as Chief Marketing Officer. These three partners grew up together on the East Coast and have worked side-by-side for a lifetime on hundreds of different projects making everything from a 2 bedroom home to tennis ball cannons. Kitanica was originally formed in Brooklyn, NY in 1995 and moved to San Francisco in 1997. There, Adam Savage, a customer and friend, started wearing his Kitanica MARK IV on national television, and the world began to become aware of the remarkably distinctive utilitarian products Kitanica was producing. Today Kitanica ships to retailers and customer-direct all over the world.
