Skis Rossignol S.A., also known as the Rossignol Group, is a sports equipment company based in Isère, France. It is a subsidiary of Quiksilver. Originally, Rossignol was started as a textiles company in 1907 by Mr. Abel Rossignol which produced skis on the side. In the 1950s, the company was bought by Laurent Boix Vives who shifted its focus almost entirely to ski manufacturing. By 1960 Rossignol skis had achieved much success, winning their first olympic event at the 1960 Winter Olympics in Squaw Valley, USA. The Rossignol corporation continued to innovate as demand for their skis grew, producing some of the first plastic skis in the 1960s. Rossignol's success continued as they bought Dynastar in 1967 and became a publicly traded company in 1969. After a partnership with Lange ski boots in the 1980s, Rossignol acquired several other sports equipment companies. The production of bindings are outsourced to Look. In 2005, Rossignol was acquired by the Australian surf company Quiksilver.Today, they are a leading producer of ski and snowboard equiment, as well as equipment for golf and tennis.
