Yakima Products inc

<div><p>Based in the Pacific NW, Yakima Products Inc. has been a pioneer of cargo and gear management solutions since 1979. We connect you, your family, friends and all of your favorite gear through our mission of enhancing the journey and earning trust every day. We want to bring our employees and consumers closer to nature with our innovative, rugged and dependable products. We take our work seriously without taking ourselves too seriously. It's not uncommon to see folks gathering for their daily lunch rides, or collaborating with teammates around the kegerator (yes, we have one of those). We believe in taking it easy, and when things get warm you might just see shorts and T-shirts, crocs, sandals, painted toes or whatever you feel comfortable wearing. Oh, and don't be alarmed if you happen to see Sasquatch.</p><p>
