E-Z UP Story

The Beginning

Back in 1983, while setting up shade for a weekend boat race on the Colorado River, 21-year-old Mark Carter realized he was missing a few parts to the team’s piece-together canopy. With temperatures over 110 degrees and no shade, it was the moment that Mark envisioned a portable pop up shelter that required no loose parts, and could be set up quickly and easily.

The next day, Mark began working on his idea in his parent’s garage in Southern California. Over the next few months, he built and refined prototypes and invented the first Instant Shelter®.

Early Years
E-Z UP

As demand grew for the Instant Shelter® Mark outgrew his parents garage and was introduced to Brad Smith by a friend. Brad offered Mark space in his warehouse and used masking tape on the floor to section off an area for E-Z UP. As the E-Z UP business continued to grow, they moved the tape line to provide more space, eventually removing the tape entirely and becoming partners.

The combination of Brad’s international business and operational expertise combined with Mark’s ingenious invention of the Instant Shelter® created the perfect partnership and the foundation for E-Z UP’s success.

Success

E-Z UP® Instant Shelters® became part of the American landscape; whether it was used for camping, on vacations, at the beach, or to a sporting event, E-Z UP® Instant Shelters® were popping up everywhere. Demand for Instant Shelters® grew rapidly. E-Z UP became the most recognized name for personal and professional use, and therefore was made available in major U.S. and International retail chains.

In order to meet customer demand, E-Z UP built manufacturing and distribution facilities worldwide. Including, the 125,000 sq. ft. headquarters in use today in Norco, CA., and several offices in California, Netherlands, and Hong Kong. E-Z UP now serves over 100 countries and our award winning digital printing has been trusted by 3 out of 5 Fortune 500 companies, including 9 out of the top 10.
