Kulkea Founder David Abramowitz Plans Retirement

October 1, 2026

Kulkea, the Westwood, Massachusetts-based ski, travel and adventure gear company is reporting that company Founder David Abramowitz is planning to retire from day-to-day leadership and has engaged Bell Lap Advisors as the company’s exclusive financial advisor to lead a “deliberate, unhurried search” for Kulkea’s next owner.

The current owners said they are clear-eyed about what they are — and are not — looking for.

“There is no deadline and no pressure to transact. The priority is a buyer who will maintain the values the brand was built on, take care of Kulkea’s employees, channel partners, and suppliers, and act as a proper steward of the business for its next chapter of growth,” the company said in a media release announcing the Bell Lap Advisors engagement.
