Marmot is an outdoor recreation clothing and sporting goods company founded in 1974 as "Marmot Mountain Works".[1] The company was founded in Grand Junction, Colorado by local resident Tom Boyce and two University of California, Santa Cruz students, David Huntley and Eric Reynolds, who shared the common goal of making their own mountaineering equipment.[citation needed]
After Jarden was acquired by Newell Rubbermaid in 2016,[2] Marmot was spun off from K2 and K2 Sports was sold to Kohlberg & Company in 2017. Marmot stayed with Newell.[3]
