Columbia is an American clothing company and outdoor equipment manufacturer, known primarily for its clothing, footwear, and equipment for outdoor activities.
Columbia Sportswear Company was founded in 1938 by Niels Peter Jensen in Portland, Oregon, USA. Initially a family-run business, it specialized in the production of hats for the fishing and hunting market.
Then, in 1970, the founder's daughter, Gert Boyle, took over the management after her husband's sudden death. She rose from housewife to director overnight. The "Tough Mother" persona, her legendary perfectionism ("It's perfect. Now do it better.") and the high standards she maintained and expected from others continue to define the brand's operations. Under Gert's leadership, the company expanded its offering to include sportswear, particularly clothing for mountaineering and other outdoor activities.
