Amer Sports was founded in 1950 in Finland.Amer Sports makes sporting goods equipment, including balls for tennis, golf, and team sports under the Wilson brand. It also makes skiing and snowboarding gear and apparel (Atomic, Dynamic, Salomon). The company's Wilson-brand tennis racquets and golf clubs give it the most bucks for its bang, but items for team sports (basketballs, footballs, baseball gloves, and the like) also contribute to Amer's bottom line. In addition, the company produces wrist-top computers, diving instruments, and fitness equipment through its various subsidiaries. Amid declining sales and profits Amer has said it may spin off its cycling business.
