The Sturm Dealer Network
Dealers measured in decades, not dollars.
Sturm USA is a wholesale-only distributor. The names below are the independent retailers across North America who stock our inventory — many of them have been doing business with us for more than thirty years. A few have been with us since the day we opened our U.S. doors in 1983.
“We treat the people who buy from us the same way we'd want to be treated. It’s how we’ve always done business.”
Our Dealer Network
A network built one dealer at a time.
Sturm USA doesn’t sell direct to the public. Every retail customer who walks away with authentic European military surplus or MIL-TEC® gear in the United States, Canada, or South America got their hands on it through one of our independent dealers — the storefronts, gun shops, surplus dealers, and outdoor outfitters listed on this page.
We've grouped them below by how long they've been part of the Sturm network. The dealers at the top of this page have been ordering from us continuously for more than thirty years — through fifty+-year industry changes, ownership transitions, generational handoffs, and every catalog cycle in between. They've earned their spot here, and we’re proud to point you in their direction.
Find the dealer nearest you, click through to their site, and tell them Sturm sent you.
Tier One
30+ Year Customers
The bedrock of our network. Dealers who've ordered from Sturm USA continuously since the 1980s and early 1990s — partners when authentic East German surplus first crossed the Atlantic, when MIL-TEC® launched as a brand, and through every catalog since.
Tier Two
20+ Year Customers
Dealers who came aboard in the early 2000s and have been with us ever since. Many of them grew their storefronts alongside the post-9/11 demand for authentic tactical gear and have stayed Sturm dealers through every market cycle that followed.
Tier Three
10+ Year Customers
Dealers who joined us in the 2010s. Many are second-generation surplus retailers who came up alongside a renewed wave of interest in authentic European surplus and quality tactical gear.
Why Dealers Stay
Three decades of partnership doesn’t happen by accident.
We don’t compete with the dealers who carry our gear.
Sturm USA is wholesale-only. We don’t run our own retail storefronts, we don’t undercut dealer pricing online, and we don’t sell direct to the end consumer. Every dollar a dealer invests in stocking and promoting Sturm products comes back to that dealer — not to a competing house brand.
Authentic surplus that arrives more often than anywhere else.
Our direct relationship with Sturm Germany means surplus shipments hit our Cartersville warehouse more often than at any other surplus wholesaler in North America. That cadence means fresh inventory, broader selection, and gear that other importers simply can’t source.
Pricing built for the people who pay our bills.
As the exclusive North American wholesale dealer for Sturm Germany, our cost advantage gets passed through to our dealer network. Margins on Sturm products are built so a dealer’s investment is rewarded — not squeezed.
A family-run team you can actually reach.
Sturm USA is family-operated. When you call, you talk to the same handful of people who’ve been running this business for decades — not a queue, not a ticketing system, not a junior rep who’ll punt your problem upstairs.
Debt-free, family-owned, built to last.
We own all of our buildings, equipment, and inventory outright. We aren’t beholden to investors, creditors, or quarterly numbers — just to the dealer network we’ve spent fifty years building.
