In 1971, the company "Hilleberg" was founded out of frustration with the market for reliable tents. Bo Hilleberg decided to design his own - a tent where the inner tent and flysheet were set up as one - and with his wife Renate's practical mind and sewing skills, they launched their first tent, the "Keb", in 1973.

Today, their daughter Petra Hilleberg is CEO of Hilleberg Group and President of Hilleberg the Tentmaker in Seattle, Washington, ensuring the family legacy continues to push forward in design, innovation, and quality.
