About Páramo
Páramo offers high performance, sustainable outdoor clothing with superior comfort and moisture management for a wide range of outdoor activities.
Back in 1986, garment prototypes were tested to their limits by founder Nick Brown on a trip to the Colombian Andes. In 1992, Páramo was born when Nick met with Sister Esther Castaño Mejia, who was running a small sewing workshop, offering practical help to women rescued from the streets of Bogotá, Colombia. The Miquelina Foundation was born and since then the two companies have grown together.
In January 2022, Páramo integrated the management of the Miquelina factory into its business and one month later control of Páramo was passed to its employees, including the seamstresses at Miquelina, as part of an Employee Ownership Trust.
Páramo is the clothing of choice for Mountain Rescue teams and expeditionary workforces such as the British Antarctic Survey, and was also the first outdoor company to join the Greenpeace Detox commitment in 2016, eliminating PFC- treatments from the entire product range.
Páramo has picked up numerous awards for its sustainability and ethics and has a clear vision to continue its positive impact on people and the planet. The goals set for 2025 are outlined in the brand’s sustainability report and based on seven clear fields of action: Páramo People, Partnerships, Climate Action, Conservation, Circularity, Ethics and Fairness and Detox Outdoor.
