Rossignol Skis and Winter Sports Equipment

Rossignol is a legendary name in the skiing world, tracing its roots back to 1907 when Abel Rossignol carved his first pair of wooden skis in Voiron, France. Over the decades, the brand became synonymous with competitive Alpine racing and technical innovation, being among the first to introduce plastic skis and later, sophisticated composite materials that revolutionized the sport.

While Rossignol remains deeply rooted in its French heritage, its manufacturing footprint is international. The brand operates a significant high-end ski production facility in Sallanches, France, near Mont Blanc, which handles specialized competition products. However, a large volume of its mass-market skis and technical apparel is manufactured in Romania and other locations worldwide to balance quality with production scale.

Today, the brand is owned by the Rossignol Group, which is controlled by the investment firm Altor Equity Partners. This ownership structure has allowed Rossignol to expand from a pure ski hardware manufacturer into a global lifestyle and outdoor gear powerhouse, encompassing brands like Dynastar, Lange, and Look.
