Amer Sports to reorganise the way it sells footwear

14/11/2018
Amer Sports, whose brands include Salomon, Arc’teryx, Peak Performance and Wilson, posted sales revenues of €1.8 billion for the first nine months of 2018, an increase of 5% in local currencies.

Chief executive, Heikki Takala, said the group was seeing “ongoing acceleration” in winter sports, ball sports and a number of other categories. He said, though, that Amer is pursuing “distribution renewal” in its footwear category, which will have “adverse short-term impact, but longer-term improvement that is already in sight”.
