Salomon Group

Salomon was founded in 1947 in the city of Annecy in the heart of the French Alps. François Salomon launched the company by producing ski edges in a small workshop, with only his wife and son, Georges, to help. Georges Salomon is credited with taking the company and evolving it toward the global outdoor sports brand it is today. The Salomon Group was purchased by Adidas in 1997 and the official name was changed to Adidas-Salomon AG. The purchase also included TaylorMade and Maxfli. Adidas then later sold the company to Amer Sports in 2005. For the first time in its 76-year history, Salomon has become a Premium Partner for the Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games Milano Cortina 2026. As part of the partnership, Salomon will supply apparel, footwear, and accessories to technical staff, competition judges, volunteers, and those participating in the Olympic and Paralympic torch relay. ==Operations==
