Following a senior management shake-up last year, ski group Black Diamond has promoted Tim Bantle to oversee its European operations and moved its European headquarters from Switzerland to Austria.

“We believe that Europe represents a primary market of opportunity for our brand. Growing our presence and deepening our market share in core businesses will be the main focus for BDE in future seasons,” said Mr Bantle.

“We will seek to reinforce our global leadership in climbing, while focusing on the emerging gym climbing customer. Additionally, we will seek to continue to develop our lighting business and innovate in core product categories such as ski, snow safety and apparel for climbers, alpinists and backcountry skiers.”
