According to a press release obtained through ISPO, Newell Brands executives said they will not liquidate the assets but instead look for a “suitable buyer” to invest in future of these brands. If a buyer is not found, the consumer goods giant will keep the snowsports companies until they can find an acquisition offer that fits the needs of Newell Brands and the companies being sold.

“It is not the goal of the process of Newell to abandon one of the companies or to shut it down, but to find a suitable buyer, who will then develop the traditional brands further.” – Newell Brands Press Release

In the meantime, the companies will proceed to roll out their 2016/2017 models.
