The group behind the Rab and Lowe Alpine outdoor clothing brands is planning to expand its global reach thanks to several million pounds of support from the HSBC.
Derbyshire-based Equip Outdoor Technologies UK owns the two brands which supply everything from wet weather wear to climbing gear, backpacks, boots and sleeping bags.
The financial support will allow the Alfreton business to repay investors, including long-term partner Gresham House Ventures which has supported extensive investment in its products, people and premises.
