Nomar
We build unique products to overcome Alaskan challenges and meet the demands of extreme conditions worldwide.
'LASKA LUGGAGE
You will never need another bag when you choose an Alaskan-made NOMAR bag for every purpose, season or adventure! Our shop is set up to build heavy-duty industrial strength products, so even the smallest bag is built with the sturdiest thread, zippers and webbing. The handles go all the way around the bag for durability and stability. You will own a handsome usable product quality built in Alaska to last practically forever. Our bags are offered in four different fabrics and many color choices, Cordura, Seatarp, Mesh, and Ballistic style nylon.
In 1978, NOMAR opened its doors as Mitchell's Marine Canvas & Upholstery. At that time, Homer's population was about 2,000 people and Alaska had been a state for less than 20 years. Alaska -- all eight million square miles only had a population of 300,000. We were not really pioneers. Our reasons for making Alaska home were based on personal freedoms and great fishing more than anything else. Check out some of Ben's photos from our years exploring Alaska.
A converted GMC school bus was our shop, a barrel stove for heat and a single commercial sewing machine for manufacturing was enough to open the doors.
With a sprinkling of talent and a healthy dose of guts, we nurtured that first business until it grew to 16 diverse and talented employees, numerous sewing machines and 10,000 square feet of work space. We now have a beautiful retail store where visitors and locals alike love to browse, shop and design that custom item to perfectly fit their needs.
We are an American company. We are an Alaskan company. We take pride in manufacturing our products in this great state using materials sourced from the USA in every instance possible. All of our products are produced right here in beautiful Homer Alaska, where we can provide a service to our friends and community and a healthy livelihood for our employees year round. We are committed to serving local Alaskans and those that enjoy our lands here. Of course we welcome you from wherever you are to explore our products here at NOMAR, enjoy the spectacular outdoor opportunities Alaska has to offer and know that you are being served by the finest manufacturing family in America!
We invite you to shop on-line or, if you are in Homer, stop in and visit our retail store located in one of the prettiest places on earth.
FROM OUR FAMILY TO YOURS.
