Record third quarter for Bergans of Norway
17/12/2014
Without reporting figures, the Hokksund-headquartered brand said sales in North America increased 55% and that year-end sales will be up about 170% higher than last year. Bergans USA is a wholly owned subsidiary established in 2011.
"As one of the premier brands with Scandinavian heritage, it's great to see the growing acceptance of Bergans of Norway in North America," said Keith Patterson, Bergans USA's vice-president of sales and marketing. "With our technical features and modern, fashion forward designs, we are glad to see the market responding to the line and are excited to be part of the success of the brand internationally."
Roald Amundsen, the first conqueror of the South Pole, travelled with Bergans equipment; Mount Everest pioneer Sir Edmund Hillary used the Bergans carrying frame for transporting oxygen bottles; and Cecilie Skog, the first woman to top the The Seven Summits, The Three Poles and to cross Antarctica unassisted, was also kitted out by the brand.
