Hammock brand claims top REI vendor award

27/01/2015
REI named its 2014 Vendor Partners of the Year awards during the Outdoor Retailer Winter Market trade show (January 22 to 25) in Salt Lake City.

Hammock maker Eagle’s Nest Outfitters was presented with the top accolade, while Kühl, Thule and Osprey Packs were named divisional winners.

The awards programme was established by REI in 1993. Each year, companies are nominated by the co-op’s three merchandising divisions – camp/travel, actionsports and outdoorwear – and are voted on by REI employees.

“ENO redefined the hammock category and saw amazing growth in 2014,” says Susan Viscon, senior vice president of REI Merchandising. “With their highly engaged, collaborative and strategic approach, they worked closely with REI to continue to deliver product and maintained above-market performance through the year.”

ENO, founded by brothers Peter and Paul Pinholster, was founded in 1999 and provides parachute hammocks and outdoor accessories.
