Arc'teryx (stylized ɅRC'TERYX) is a design company that sells outdoor clothing and climbing gear. The headquarters and design centre are located in North Vancouver, with a local manufacturing facility called "ARC'One", located in New Westminster. There are overseas teams located in Munich, Shanghai and Tokyo. The company is currently a subsidiary of Anta, the Chinese sportwear company.
The name and logo of Arc'teryx refer to Archaeopteryx, one of the first birds and a transitional form between earlier dinosaurs and modern dinosaurs (more commonly known as birds). The logo, designed by graphic designer Micheal Hofler, is based on the "Berlin specimen", a fossil of the bird, the most complete skeleton found to date.
The company's products are sold at over eighty company-owned stores, in addition to 3,000 other retail locations.
There are more than 1,000 employees in North America (not including retail, sales representatives, and dealer services) and more than 1,200 employees globally.
Besides normal product lines, Arc'teryx's Leaf (Law Enforcement and Armed Forces) line is aimed at the military and police market. In the consumer and Internet market, it is often referred to as "military birds". Some of the collections are designed for their civilian counterparts, while others, such as Arc'teryx's Tango and Charlie backpacks, feature camouflage designs that are entirely geared toward the military. In the color, the military bird series is different from the ordinary product line, there are no rich bright colors. In contrast, military bird products use dark colors and military colors, such as Wolf Grey, Ranger Green, etc. Only a handful of products, such as the Alpha jacket, are currently made in Canada, while the rest, such as Assault Shirt, are made overseas, such as in El Salvador and Vietnam.
Arc'teryx also has a high-end business line called Veiliance, hereinafter referred to as Shanbird. The Shang Bird series mainly covers business suits and urban-style clothing. It also applies the high-tech fabric and three-dimensional tailoring of Archaeopteryx, thus creating many business clothing with a protective effect.
