The North Face, Inc.
 PROFILE
The North Face has seen both peaks and valleys. A subsidiary of VF Corporation, the company designs and distributes high-tech outdoor apparel and gear such as tents, sleeping bags, and backpacks. Its products, made by suppliers in Asia, the US, Mexico, and South America, are sold mainly by outdoor and sporting goods retailers in North America and Europe. Known for gear used in extreme situations, such as ice climbing and polar expeditions, The North Face also offers Tekware sportswear for a broader market and The North Face footwear. It operates about 20 of its own retail stores. After two years of turmoil, the once-hot company was purchased by VF (Lee jeans, Jansport backpacks) in 2000.
