Our Story Begins with One Simple Idea

Outdoor brands deserve more than just another supplier. They deserve a real partner.

In 2009, a French entrepreneur with a passion for design, outdoor life, and long-term partnerships founded what would later become ESSE Outdoor. With over 20 years of experience and fluency in four languages, including Chinese, he built deep, lasting connections within China’s manufacturing ecosystem.

By 2012, ESSE Outdoor had evolved from a sourcing office into a fully structured company based in Xiamen, a key international trade hub. From day one, our vision was clear: to deliver better-designed, better-tested, and better-protected outdoor products — tailored for ambitious B2B clients.

We don’t just resell existing goods. We work with designers in France and Guangzhou, create custom molds, refine details with ex-factory experts, and inspect everything in-house. Our ERP system tracks every adjustment, test result, and claim — because when your brand is on the line, every detail matters.

Today, our products reach partners across Europe, North America, and Oceania — built to perform in real-world conditions and backed by a process that’s personal, precise, and proven.
