About Salomon
Founded in 1947 in the heart of the French Alps, Salomon has grown from a small workshop crafting ski edges into a global leader in outdoor sports innovation. The brand revolutionized winter sports with pioneering technologies like the innovative "Skade" toe piece for ski bindings in 1957, the SX90 ski boot in 1979, and the Monocoque ski design in 1991, which made Salomon the first full-system ski brand. By the early 1970s, Salomon had become the world's number-one binding brand, producing 1 million bindings annually. Today, Salomon's iconic products like the XA PRO, S/LAB range, and XT-6 trail shoe continue to transform outdoor experiences for athletes worldwide.
Salomon's evolution extends far beyond its skiing heritage. In 2019, the company opened the Advanced Shoe Factory 4.0, a cutting-edge robotic production facility in France, demonstrating its commitment to innovation and sustainability. Celebrating 75 years in 2022, Salomon has fully established itself as a premium footwear brand, blending performance with style across trail running, hiking, and sportstyle categories. In 2024, the brand marked a new chapter with a flagship store on Paris's Champs-Élysées. As part of Amer Sports and headquartered in Annecy, France, Salomon continues to shape the future of outdoor sports, enabling people to play, progress, and connect with nature through fulfilling outdoor sports experiences.
