Plymouth Harbor on Cape Cod Bay is our backyard.

We can kayak, canoe, paddleboard, swim and sail just five minutes from our office and warehouse in Plympton. As MTI enters its 20th year of business, we reflect on what a wonderful adventure it has been. From humble beginnings in the suburban Boston home of the Takashina's to now having a sales, design, and distribution headquarters in beautiful Southern Massachusetts and a brand that is sold across North America, Japan, and Australia, we have grown with the sport of paddlesports. MTI is still a family owned business, and our focus remains on designing and building an outstanding range of PFDs for human powered on-water adventuring.

20 years of making life jackets means that a generation has grown up wearing MTI. The PFDs that we first designed to better fit and float our children still hang in the boat house are now used by other children since ours are grown. More adventures are still ahead for all of us. Take time get out on the water. Enjoy your family. Enjoy your friends. Enjoy your private time. Recharge, re-exhilarate, and reconnect.

And paddle safe... please wear your PFD. We hope that you will make it an MTI.
