Quiksilver has confirmed that it will be selling its Park City-based Rossignol brand of ski goods. In its second quarter financial statement last week, it announced that the sale will include the Rossignol, Dynastar, Lange, Look and Kerma brands of ski equipment and ski wear. The company only bought Rossignol back in 2005... The ski industry has been aware that Quiksilver wanted to rid itself of Rossignol for well over a year now. However, rumours suggest that the only offer so far has been a management buy out, which Quiksilver was unhappy with.
Rossignol’s projections were that they would need to manufacturer 300,000-500,000 pairs of skis in Europe last winter. But, early in the ‘07/’08 season, it became clear that they would need nowhere near this figure.
Quiksilver has now classified its Rossignol Group winter sports equipment and apparel business as discontinued operations pending the sale.
