The North Face®, a subsidiary of VF Corporation, was founded in 1966.
Our headquarters is located in California, US, in a LEED certified
energy-saving and environmentally-friendly industrial park. The North
Face offers the most technically advanced products in the market to
accomplished climbers, mountaineers, snowsport athletes and explorers.
The brand name "The North Face®" is derived from the North Slope, which
refers to the coldest slope of a mountain; the one that is the most
difficult to climb. The logo is based on the Half Dome which is a
mountain peak found in the Yosemite National Park in California.
Therefore the "North Face" refers to the outdoor spirit of exploration
that one must have to conquer the toughest terrains. The North Face®
adopted a new slogan - "Never Stop Exploring" in 1997 - this has since
become the essence of our brand spirit. Our products satisfy all outdoor
requirements for exploring the world and challenging the human
potential to the limits. The brand is also dedicated to protecting the
outdoor environment. We have maintained our goal of sustainability and
minimizing all man-made impact on nature. For more information, please
