Salomon sports gear

Salomon is a historic brand specializing in outdoor sports equipment, founded in the heart of the French Alps. The company began as a workshop for wood saw blades and ski edges but quickly transitioned into a global leader for skiing, trekking, and trail running gear.

While the brand maintains its design and innovation center in Annecy, France, its manufacturing has expanded globally. Production primarily takes place in countries with specialized manufacturing hubs such as China, Vietnam, and Cambodia, though high-end technical components are still sometimes sourced or developed in Europe.

Today, Salomon is part of Amer Sports, a major sporting goods conglomerate. Amer Sports itself was acquired by a Chinese-led consortium headed by Anta Sports, though it remains operationally headquartered in Finland and is publicly traded on the New York Stock Exchange. This structure places the brand under the ultimate ownership of a global investment group focusing on sports and apparel.
