U.K.-based outdoor apparel and gear brand Montane named Neskowin Outdoor Inc. of Portland, OR to direct its sales and distribution management in the United States, starting in spring/summer 2017.
“We are very excited to work with Neskowin Outdoor – a proven and high quality distributor of outdoor soft goods – as part of the next phase in our development,” said Jake Doxat, founder and CEO of Montane. “Working with Sport Hansa (the company’s current distributor) over the past five years has provided us with a great transition from a small group of pure specialty retailers into a wider outdoor platform across the U.S., and we look forward to building on that strong momentum in the months to come.”
Working alongside Neskowin Outdoor, Montane will exhibit at the upcoming 2017 Outdoor Retailer Winter Market to debut the brand’s fall/winter 2017 line of technical gear and apparel.
“We’re honored to work with Montane, a pioneer and clear global leader in the lightweight, high performance apparel and gear movement,” said Walt Crate, principal of Neskowin Outdoor. “Montane’s investment longevity in the U.S. market and dedication to driving value to its U.S. specialty retailer base and to the end consumer with well-priced, meaningful innovation is very impressive.”
