FirstSpear Friday Focus – OEM Spotlight: Hill People Gear

Friday, September 20th, 2024

This Friday Focus we have another installment of our FirstSpear OEM Partner series Today we are taking a look at one of FirstSpear’s very first and longest OEM Partners, Hill People Gear.

Q: What specific qualities or capabilities of FirstSpear made them the ideal manufacturing partner for Hill People Gear?

HPG: We’ve attempted to work with several different OEM manufacturers over the years, and FS is the only organization we’ve run across that understands OEM production is a service business. FirstSpear provides a turnkey manufacturing solution which lets us focus on the things we’re good at and keeps us out of the business of running a factory.

Q: How does FirstSpear’s manufacturing process align with the design and quality standards of Hill People Gear?

HPG: Tolerances are held to 1/8” and the defect rate is well below 1%. It’s been that way for over a decade now which is a great track record.

Q: Can you share any examples of how FirstSpear’s technology or expertise has directly enhanced your product offerings?

HPG: We’ve made generous use of FS’ patented MOLLE cut velcro loop laminate material where it makes sense on the insides of our bags. 

Q: Why is American-made manufacturing important to Hill People Gear?

HPG: We don’t have any corporate overlords to answer to, so we can make decisions that are about more than the bottom line. Keeping manufacturing in America makes our world a better place in so many different ways. Thankfully, our customer base feels the same way and is willing to pay to support that.

Q: Do you have any new product releases on the horizon?

HPG:  We’re always working on things big and small — stay tuned to SSD for all our major releases!
