Hi-Tec Sports has relocated their U.S. headquarters from Portland to Tigard, OR, to support current and future growth of the Hi-Tec and Magnum brands.
The move gives both brands room to grow and build a state of the art showroom and improved meeting space for key retailer presentations.
Hi-Tec's U.S. operation has been based in Portland since 2011 and will remain nearby to stay connected to the region's many outdoor gear brands and players in the footwear industry.
“Starting with five employees in Downtown Portland in January 2013 and growing to our current roster of 22, this move makes perfect sense for our fast growing business,” said Simon Bonham, U.S. CEO, Hi-Tec Sports. “The move to Tigard has already reaped rewards for our staff and customers, who now have a more comfortable, interactive space for line previews and key product showings. We are experiencing significant growth in sales and market share gain for both brands and this move will allow us to continue our aggressive growth plans.”
Founded in 1974 by company Chairman Frank van Wezel, Hi-Tec helped create the lightweight-hiking category with the introduction of the Sierra Sneaker and Sierra Lite hiking boot. Hi-Tec is committed to making rugged, durable products for work, trails and life, authentically inspired by the real outdoor experience. Hi-Tec Sports USA is a subsidiary of Hi-Tec Sports, BV, Amsterdam, which claims annual sales exceeding $250 million,.
