GMG, one of the Middle East's leading family-owned conglomerates, is thrilled to announce the grand launch of Columbia, the iconic American sportswear brand, in Malaysia. The exciting development comes with the opening of a new Columbia store at Mid Valley Megamall.

Following our successful launches in Malaysia and Singapore this year, this is a testament to further solidifying our position in Asia. We are excited to ignite the inner adventurer of the urban active communities, and to journey with them wherever their escapades take them."

Creating Outdoor Gear & Technologies Since 1938: A Step Above  At the heart of Columbia is its passion for outdoors, embodying its mission to inspire and equip people to explore and push their limits. Based in Portland, Oregon, Columbia crafts active lifestyle gears fortified with industry-leading technologies and tested in its own backyard of lush forests, snow-covered mountains, rugged coastlines, and wide-open spaces.

Guided by its Pacific Northwest heritage and indomitable spirit, Columbia stands out through its unwavering commitment to technical innovation and exceptional quality. The brand’s patented technologies such as Omni-Heat™, Omni-Tech™, Omni-Wick™, Omni-Freeze™,  and more provide superior performance and protection against the elements, ensuring that Columbia’s products are always ready for any outdoor adventure.
