Boulder, CO (May 26, 2021) — Sea to Summit, the award-winning global adventure equipment brand headquartered in Western Australia, has partnered with two new sales agencies across Canada.

Effective immediately, Mystery Mountain Sales in Western Canada and Escala Sales and Marketing in Eastern Canada will represent Sea to Summit. Together with the Philippe-A. Bourdeau Agency in Quebec, Sea to Summit is excited to continue the brand’s expansion within the Canadian market.

Josh Simpson, General Manager for Sea to Summit North America, said of the new sales partnerships, “As our business continues to expand in Canada a top priority for us is to provide outstanding service and support to our dealers. Mystery Mountain and Escala are not only fantastic additions to our sales team but they also place the brand in an improved position to support our existing dealers across Canada.”

Mystery Mountain Principal Michael Down said, “We are so excited to have the opportunity to represent Sea to Summit in western Canada! Sea to Summit has a long history of designing and making brilliant and innovative outdoor products. It’s clear to us that the company has built an incredible foundation from which it is ready to break out as a global outdoor industry leader. We’re honored to partner with Sea to Summit and help take the brand to the next level in Canada.”

In Western Canada, Mystery Mountain Sales will represent Sea to Summit in Alberta, British Columbia, Northwest Territories, Nunavut, Saskatchewan, and Yukon.

Escala Sales and Marketing Principal Mellissa Trudel said, “The team at Escala is proud and excited to add Sea to Summit to our portfolio of brands.

In Eastern Canada, Escala Sales & Marketing will represent Sea to Summit in Manitoba, Newfoundland & Labrador, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Ontario, and Prince Edward Island.

Sea to Summit took over the North American business from the company’s long-time distributor in June 2020 and has been attentively scaling operations to support global growth objectives. “The past year has presented challenges none of us expected when we began this journey in early 2020,” said Simpson. “We’re forging new partnerships because we recognize the huge potential for the brand in Canada and have been lucky to partner with incredible agencies to help realize these goals.”
