"Our decision to bring Black Diamond’s ski manufacturing in-house represents a significant expansion of our manufacturing footprint, and demonstrates our commitment to the category and passion for the sports we serve," Peter Metcalf, Black Diamond’s president and CEO, said in a statement.
He said Black Diamond manufactures about one-third of its proprietary products in-house. "So we are confident in our capabilities," Metcalf added. "Ski manufacturing will allow us to be more responsive to our customers, while maintaining a competitive pricing position."
Black Diamond Equipment Asia was established as a wholly owned subsidiary in 2006. It has about 200 employees, the company said.
