Evolution from Nautika to NTK<\/h2>\n

In 1996, an era of transformations began at Nautika: the entry of the second generation of the family and new talents brought a modern and dynamic vision to the business, with a clear mission to lead the camping and leisure market in Brazil.<\/p>\n

The 2010s represented a new leap. The company established strategic partnerships with some of the world’s biggest brands. In 2012, the company’s portfolio already exceeded 2,000 items, surpassing market expectations. Pedro Lacaz Amaral, founder of Gear Tips, and Kiko Ara\u00fajo were part of this journey with the distribution of deuter, Sea to Summit and Princeton Tec, followed by CamelBak.<\/p>\n

Pedro comments on the importance of this partnership: “Adding these brands to the portfolio brought not only visibility to Nautika, but also helped the company evolve technically in camping and leisure products. We are very proud of this journey.”<\/p>\n
