Company History
In 1971, a group of west coast mountaineers made a decision to do business differently, and they turned an unconventional retail model into a thriving business. It hasn't always been easy – MEC has weathered some epic storms. But as we grew older and a little wiser, we learned our grassroots foundation holds up over time: make things happen, deal fairly, find strength in community, and inspire adventure.
