Marmot Mountain Europe GmbH closes its site in Schwaig, near Nuremberg. Hattersheim near Frankfurt will be the new European headquarters. In addition, Managing Director Andy Schimeck is leaving the company.

That is why twelve major European outdoor stakeholders initiated the campaign, and later the “It’s Great Out There Coalition” (IGOT). Next to ISPO MUNICH, the founding members of the initiative include major outdoor companies like The North Face, Jack Wolfskin, and Mammut, and even retailers like Schuster.

In Hattersheim near Frankfurt, all activities of the US-American outdoor equipment supplier Marmot are now taken over by the sister company Coleman EMEA GmbH. The parent company Newell Brands is also located there. With the move, all European business is now concentrated in one location. In 2017 Newell Brands sold its winter sports division with the brands K2, Völkl, Marker, Dalbello, Madshus, Line, Full Tilt, Atlas, Tubbs, Ride and BCA.
