Black Diamond Equipment

Black Diamond Equipment develops gear for climbing, skiing and other mountain activities. The company describes its Salt Lake City setting at the base of the Wasatch Mountains as part of its identity, connecting the equipment it designs with the activities pursued by its staff and customers. Its business brings outdoor product development into Utah’s mountain recreation economy. [1] [2] [3]

The brand grew out of Chouinard Equipment, with employees taking over and adopting the Black Diamond name in 1989. Its current customer-support address is on East 3900 South in Salt Lake City. Product support and repair processes sit alongside the sale of equipment, adding a service relationship to a business built around specialized gear. [1] [2] [3]
