To back Jack, Jarden owns Marmot, K2, Coleman, Worth/Rawlings, and a whole bunch of other companies. Big big company…
After reading Dave's post regarding the transaction from the pt of view of corporate greed, its interesting to read Gregory's Press release. From their website;
In 1983, Gregory Mountain Products was acquired by Bianchi International. In December 2004, Armor Holdings, led by Warren Kanders and Rob Schiller, acquired Bianchi and the plan then was the same as the plan today: to use Gregory as a growth platform to build a global public company in the outdoor lifestyle industry. And as many of you know, in March of 2008, Gregory was liberated by Warren and Rob from a large company more broadly focused on personal protection and safety equipment.
Liberated? Really? By who? The guys that were also focused on personal protection and safety equipment? Liberated by the guys that sold you to BAE in the first place? ha!
