Outdoor Research announced the hiring of Treeline Sales, LLC to represent the Exped brand in the Pacific Northwest Territory. The team of Tim Andis, Dana Sterling and Ray Thomas will represent the Swiss line of innovative and award winning tents, sleeping bags and sleeping mats. Andis, Sterling and Thomas will work with Outdoor Research USA sales manager Kaj Bune to grow the distribution of Exped in Alaska, Washington, Oregon, Idaho, and Montana.

“Outdoor Research began delivering Exped products as the North American distributor on January 1, 2005, but the missing link has been finding the right agency to represent the line in this critical territory,” said Bune. “Exped has quickly become an important part of OR's business, with the amazing down sleeping mats on the leading edge of the success. Exped products are simply outstanding and our retailers deserve the best sales team possible to help them realize the brand's potential. The Treeline crew will lend their proven technical sales knowledge to this compelling line.” In addition to Exped, Treeline represent Princeton Tec, Karhu, Integral Designs, High Gear, Granite Gear, Cocoon, and SteriPEN.
