Kanders & Company buys out Mountain Khakis

Warren B. Kanders, through an affiliate of Kanders & Company, acquired practically all of the assets and business of Mountain Khakis LLC from majority owner Remington Arms Company and other minority members.

Warren B. Kanders, the President and owner of Kanders, will join as the chairman of the company, while Mr. Ross Saldarini, who co-founded the company and has taken the business from an idea scratched on a napkin in a Jackson Hole saloon to the well-established brand it is today, will continue to serve in the role of President.

"I am extremely excited to partner with Ross Saldarini and the entire Mountain Khakis team as we look to take the Company through its next phase of growth," said Kanders. "Mountain Khakis represents a unique brand to its customer and its growth speaks to the enthusiasm both dealers and consumers have about the product. Mountain Khakis is well known for its quality and construction, all of which reinforce its commitment to providing a product that is authentically functional and stylish at the same time."

"On behalf of the entire Mountain Khakis team, we are excited about partnering with Warren as we look to build on the tremendous foundation we have created since founding the company," said in turn Ross Saldarini.

"We share a vision of the future for the Mountain Khakis(R) brand and for the expansion opportunities domestically and internationally. We look forward to continuing to invest the resources needed to take the company to the next level," added Saldarini.

Founded in 2003, Mountain Khakis is a US-based multi-channel designer, developer and marketer of a broad line of premium branded lifestyle apparel and accessories inspired by mountain life.
