Beginning in 1994, the Sandy-based company combined science and sunshine to create the world's first T-shirt that changes color in sunlight. Throughout the years, the company expanded to include a variety of clothing apparel, such as sweatshirts, board shorts, hats, flip-flops, nail polish, necklaces, rings, pendants, hair clips, barrettes, earrings, sport discs, competition-quality yo-yo's, and lifetime-guaranteed Sol Dials watches.

"We've made visiting Del Sol a magical experience that people of all ages and from all places can truly enjoy," says Del Sol president and CEO, Jeff Pedersen.

Black Diamond's roots trace back to 1957 when Yvon Chouinard used a hammer and anvil to pound out hand-forged pitons. Throughout the years, the company added new products and refined existing ones. The company changed its name in 1989 and relocated to Utah.

Actively involved with protecting the environment, Black Diamond and Waste Management recycled an estimated 235 tons of Black Diamond's waste, or approximately 60 percent of the organization's total solid waste stream in 2009. This recycling effort amounted to a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions of approximately 510 tons C02 emissions, which is roughly equivalent to reducing 720,000 miles on the road each year.
