Mountrek’s parent company, Jimlar
Corporation, a pioneer in the footwear
industry for the last 50 years, was
founded in 1956. Jimlar was founded
by Victor and Madeleine Tarica, and
has been run for more than 35 years
by their two sons, Jim and Larry, who
joined the company in 1962 and 1971
respectively.
In 1993, Jimlar became the footwear
licensee for The Frye Company, legendary
makers of America’s finest boots.
Subsequently, Jimlar acquired Frye
outright in 1998, and presently owns
the Frye brand for all its product
classifications worldwide. Also in
1993, Jimlar began marketing men’s
casual and rugged footwear under its
brand RJ Colt.
Jimlar is also the footwear licensee
of two of the world’s most respected
brands. In 1998, Jimlar became the
footwear licensee for Coach, America’s
premier leather goods and accessories
company. And in 2004, Jimlar became
the footwear licensee of Calvin Klein,
the iconic apparel and lifestyle brand.
An important part of the Jimlar’s
activities is that it is a leader in
providing design and sourcing services
to countless other companies. With
its own in- house design team and worldwide
sourcing organization, the company
has long been a valued footwear supplier
to many other companies.
Presently, Jimlar's worldwide team
of more than 600 includes staff in
the U.S. headquarters, design studio
and showrooms, and company-operated
offices in Italy, China, Hong Kong,
Taiwan, Holland, and Mexico.
Now with Mountrek, Jimlar Corporation
is delighted to be able to apply its
broad resources to engineering and
providing outdoor products to enhance
the active and healthy lifestyles of
our own associates and new consumer
friends. |
