Pete Roberts began what is now Origin USA in 2011, selling
imported jiu jitsu gear online in Franklin County. Since then,
the company has grown to 35 employees, making it a significant
employer in Farmington. It manufactures both the textiles used to
make the gear as well as the gear itself. Its martial arts gear and
related goods are sold online to customers around the world.
