Millet Mountain Group is a French-based company, headquartered in Annecy, specializing in outdoor equipment such as backpacks and sleeping bags. In 2014, Millet was acquired by Swiss holding Calida group.[1] In January 2022, Calida agreed to sell Millet to Jean-Pierre Millet, grandson of Millet's founder, and Inspiring Sport Capital (ISC), a private equity company dedicated to the sports industry.[2] Completion of the transaction is expected in the second quarter of 2022.
Millet also offers a wide variety of other equipment, earning comparisons to United States-based companies such as Timberland and Columbia Sportswear.
Millet is not related to Millets, a UK chain of shops selling outdoor clothing.[3]
