MontBell is the brainchild of Isamu Tatsuno, who is the founder and CEO of the largest outdoor clothing and equipment manufacturer and retailer in Japan and Asia. Tatsuno has been an avid outdoor enthusiast, skiing, paddling, and climbing mountains all around the world for most of his life.
In 1975, Tatsuno established MontBell in Osaka Japan, which, for many decades, has been the center of Japan’s textile industry. This gave him great access to the latest technological developments and products in the textile industry.Tatsuno combined his practical knowledge of the needs of outdoor enthusiasts with MontBell’s proximity to the textile industry, allowing the MontBell line to rapidly develop clothing and equipment which previously did not exist. |
