novità dal mercato (da pistehors e TGR):
Atomic Annexes Salomon
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
According to the French Press Amer, the Finnish owners of Atomic skis have bought Salomon skis from Adidas for 485 million Euros including 144 million goodwill. The transaction has been financed by increasing Amer's debt. The transaction should be completed by September.
Will this bring Austrian know-how to Annecy (or Shanghai were most Salomon kit is now made?). After Rossi it seems like there is some consolidation going on in the ski business this year. Apparently the top management of Adidas and Salomon had "artistic differences" and this was a reason for the split.
