Bonfire Snowboarding

Salomon was founded in 1947 in the city of Annecy. 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 a global outdoor sports brand.

The Salomon Group was purchased by Adidas in 1997 and the name was changed to Adidas-Salomon AG. The purchase also included TaylorMade and Maxfli. Adidas sold the company to Amer Sports in 2005.

In 2019, Amer Sports was acquired by a consortium led by Chinese sportswear giant Anta Sports Products. In February 2024, Amer Sports returned to public markets via an IPO on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE: AS), raising approximately $1.37 billion. Anta Sports remains the largest shareholder.

Salomon was a premium partner for the Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games Milano Cortina 2026, and supplied apparel, footwear, and accessories to technical staff, competition judges, volunteers, and those participating in the Olympic and Paralympic torch relay.
