Brentwood Associates sells Filson Holdings

Private equity firm Brentwood Associates has completed

the sale of Filson Holdings Inc., an Oregon maker of premium outdoor apparel and accessories. Filson Holdings of Portland was sold to Bedrock Manufacturing Co. of Dallas and details of the operation remain unknown.

"Filson is an iconic heritage brand that continues to grow its base of highly loyal customers through its multi-channel distribution platform,” said Steve Moore, a Brentwood partner, in a statement.

Brentwood said that under its ownership, Filson, which was founded in 1897, accelerated product development, grew its direct-to-consumer business significantly by expanding catalog and e-commerce marketing, and expanded wholesale distribution to outdoor and premium specialty retailers.
Brentwood Associates, which invests in middle-market consumer companies, has more than $650 million in capital under management.
