Zempire’s innovative outdoor products are now available in MEC stores across Canada We are pleased to announce the expansion into the Canadian camping market through a new partnership with Mountain Equipment Company (MEC), Canada’s premier outdoor retailer.

Richard Knauf, Zempire CEO and Head of Product, expressed his enthusiasm about this significant milestone.

We are excited to bring our unique range of innovative camping products to Canada. Designed and rigorously tested in New Zealand’s challenging outdoor environments, our air tents and camping gear are well-suited to meet the demands of Canadian families and outdoor enthusiasts. Partnering with MEC allows us to showcase our products in key retail locations across Canada, providing consumers easy access to our award-winning equipment.

The partnership includes product availability in nine MEC stores nationwide, including Vancouver, Calgary, Toronto, and Montreal, as well as online at zempire.ca. Featured products available at MEC that will also be on display during  June will include the Aerospeed 4 Air Tent, Monstabed Twin Camp Bed, Chill Pill DLX Memory Foam Pillow, Kitpac Pro Table, and Frontrow Chair.

We’re proud to offer an extensive range of air tents and shelters in the largest outdoor recreational market, with over 20 models designed to deliver fast, easy setup and durable performance. Our patented air tent technology eliminates the need for traditional poles, offering campers a quick inflation process and increased stability in various weather conditions. The modular design enables tents to connect for larger group setups, enhancing versatility and usability.

Mr. Knauf added:

Our core strength lies in combining cutting-edge technology with functional design to enhance the camping experience. Our air tents have been proven in extreme conditions from New Zealand’s tropical storms to Australia’s summer heat, and now we look forward to demonstrating their resilience and convenience to Canadian campers.

In addition to our air tents, we offer a selection of lightweight pole tents, canvas options, and camping furniture, all backed by solid warranties and dedicated after-sales support.

This partnership marks a new chapter for Zempire as we invest in ongoing research and development to introduce further innovations to the global market. We remain committed to providing high-quality, durable, and easy-to-use camping equipment for outdoor enthusiasts everywhere.

We thank MEC for their collaboration and look forward to supporting the Canadian outdoor community with our products.
