From a Vancouver ecosystem, Arc’teryx manages partnerships with manufacturers and material suppliers around the world. Building long-term relationships with partners takes time. We seek to find partners that share our pioneering spirit and lean into difficult challenges. We require partners that are committed to the long-term, as our training program for our more technical products can take upwards of three years.

When selecting materials, our process is extensive. Whether we are developing materials ourselves or direct sourcing from a supplier, we conduct comprehensive testing including in-house, the lab and out in the field. All of our materials are approved by our teams before they are sent to our manufacturing partners.
