NEMO Equipment outdoor gear

NEMO Equipment (New England Mountain Equipment) was founded in 2002 by Cam Brensinger in Dover, New Hampshire, USA. The brand was established with a focus on bringing high-level engineering and design innovation to the outdoor industry, famously debuting with its patented AirSupported Technology.

While the research and design are headquartered in New Hampshire, manufacturing is primarily handled by specialized partners in East Asia, particularly Vietnam and Taiwan, to maintain technical standards for high-performance outdoor gear. As of 2026, NEMO remains an independently owned and operated company, maintaining its commitment to sustainability and innovative design without being part of a larger multi-brand conglomerate like many of its competitors.
