Salomon was born in 1947 in the heart of the
French Alps and
the birthplace of modern alpinism. Driven by passion for skiing and
design innovation, Francois Salomon and his son George designed and
perfected many of the first modern ski bindings. During the following
60 years, Salomon's commitment to innovative design and passion for
mountain sports created a vast range of revolutionary new concepts in
bindings, boots, skis, footwear and outdoor clothing for both alpine
and nordic skiing. In particular, Salomon brought innovations
to outdoor footwear, clothing and equipment, used for snowboarding,
adventure racing, mountaineering, and many other outdoor sports.Today, Salomon products are sold in over 160 countries and the brand is a global icon. Through performance driven design, Salomon delivers innovation and progression to mountain sports; converting new ideas into action and expanding the limits of possibility. Salomon's heritage, culture, and commitment are tied together by one simple concept: the world’s leading mountain people creating the world’s leading mountain products.
