quicksilver buying rossignol

I thought the article was fairly straight forward, Quiksilver put in a bid to buy Rossignol. Whether or not this bid will be sufficient, we will see. A company does not make a bid to buy another company if they do not believe it is in their best interests and they have a good chance of winning with their bid. This is due to the high costs associated with preparing a bid.

As for Salomon/Adidas owning quiksilver, that's wrong. Quiksilver is not owned by any parent brand, they are a seperate publically traded company. Quiksilver bought Mervin(Lib Tech & Bent Metal) in 1997.

Apparently, K2 is also speculated as a possible buyer for Rossignol. I'd much rather see the company go to Quiksilver for the best interests of skiing. It would be nice to see Rossignol and Dynastar (a brand of Rossignol) skis sold in Quiksilver shops.

Apparently, analysts think the company may fetch as many as 244 million euros, thats $323million USD. Quiksilver paid $87million USD when they bought DCshoes last year.

Quite frankly, I wouldn't mind seeing Rossignol go to Nike (of course I'd rather see it go to a progressive company like Quicksilver). But Nike has SO MANY resources and not mention a shitload of know how. The company got into skateboarding just recently and they've aquired some of the more influential skateboarders of the time. They're SB lineup is awesome (love the new Dunk styles). I feel that they could do some pretty damn good things for newschool skiing for sure. Just because it's Nike doesn't always mean it's a bad thing. I would love to be Phil Knight right now.



I'll tell you where...someplace warm...a place where the beer flows like wine...where beautiful women instinctively flock like the salmon of capastrano...I'm talkin' about a little place called Asssspennnnn...

i talked to the people from rossignol and i guess that corporate turned down the bid from quiksilver. but i think that they are making another one or have to do more nagotiating (i butchered that) about all of it...

doesnt line UK have some type of holding by nike? most of their riders wear nike ACG ish.

Qicksilver is a MUCH larger company than rossignol. Quicksilver broke 1 billion in gross sales last year, netting well over 60 million. Rossi by comparison grossed less than half of a billion (435 million), and netted only 4.3 million.
