GSI Outdoors’ sibling founders – Don Scott, Ian Scott, and Kathy Scott – have reacquired the company, returning GSSI to a family-owned and operated business.
GSI Outdoors was founded by the Scott siblings 41 years ago. After selling the company in 2022 to Pelican International, the Scotts remained closely involved in the brand’s operations. Following a period of corporate restructuring at Pelican over the past year, the family said they saw a path to reacquire the business.
“GSI Outdoors has always been more than just a business to us: it is our family’s legacy and a community we have helped build for over forty years,” said Don Scott. “We are incredibly grateful for the opportunity to step back into full ownership and lead this talented team once again. Our commitment to innovation, quality, and the outdoor experience is stronger than ever, and we couldn’t be more excited to steer the brand’s future on our own terms.”
Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed. GSI Outdoors, based in Spokane, Washington, focuses on outdoor cooking and hydration products.
