Apparel manufacturer and supply chain provider Tegra acquired Fjord LLC, an Oregon-based manufacturer of on-field uniforms and gear for NFL, Olympic and top-tier college athletes, adding to Tegra's team and fan business.

“The addition of Fjord to our team aligns with our core strategic initiative – to grow and strengthen the value we provide to the sports, team and licensing apparel market,” said Steve Cochran, Tegra’s CEO in a statement.

Fjord's customers include Nike, Columbia Sportswear and Patagonia. It is a 40-year-old company known for making performance gear.
