HERITAGE
On January 8th, 2008 Abe Shehadeh officially launched BlackStrap Industries Inc, a small collection of winter facemasks. What began as an idea to elevate Abe's experience on the mountain has evolved into a company with a mission to improve everyone's experience in the mountains. From 2008-2010, in true entrepreneurial spirit, Abe did what any founder would do: hit the pavement, pioneering the brand from mountain-to-mountain and shop-to-shop. As a result, what began in the beautiful town of Bend, Oregon has now grown into a full-fledged commitment to being a profound leader in the outdoor industry. To this day, BlackStrap continues to be independently owned and operated.
