Operations

A person running on a green hill.

From end to end, our global supply chain teams aim to provide the best service to our retail customers and consumers worldwide.

Supply chain

Our supply chain is built on the belief that premium products require thoughtful craftsmanship. Our global supply chain organization is responsible for the operational planning, manufacturing, sourcing, and distribution of products to our consumers.

We pride ourselves on delivering high-quality apparel, footwear, equipment, protective gear, and accessories to our global community of consumers, while working to maintain high standards for labor practices and workplace conditions, and decreasing the environmental impact of our supply chain.

Manufacturing and sourcing

Our products are produced by our qualified suppliers and at our own manufacturing sites worldwide. Approximately 27% of Amer Sports’ production value is sourced from suppliers in Greater China, while approximately 68% is sourced from elsewhere in the Asia-Pacific region1.

Owned manufacturing is limited but strategically important, primarily focused on technical and hardgoods production. Our most important own production facilities are in Austria, Bulgaria, Romania, Canada, and the United States.

We believe the combination of owned and sourced manufacturing across different geographic regions provides a well-balanced, resilient approach to product procurement.

Distribution and transportation

Products are shipped from our owned and sourced manufacturing facilities to a global network of 23 distribution centers, of which 13 are owned and operated, and the remainder are third-party managed facilities1.

The facilities are strategically located to provide speed and service to our consumers at efficient costs and are supported by a transportation network of core carriers across sea, land, and air freight.

Quality management

We are committed to ensuring that all products are subjected to systematic quality control tests prior to and during production, and again before they are sold to customers. Our own quality control personnel carry out testing and inspection. We also require third-party suppliers to arrange for specific tests at each manufacturing site.

In most countries, our Group companies offer product warranties based on local legislation. The warranty scope and terms vary in markets and product categories.

Sustainability

We uphold social sustainability by requiring our suppliers to commit to our Supplier Code of Conduct, aligned with global human rights standards, and ensuring ethical practices and dignity for all workers across our supply chain.

The Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) has verified our commitment and related targets to reach net-zero greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 2050. The SBTi has also validated our near-term targets to reduce Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 60%, and Scope 3 emissions from purchased goods and services and transportation and distribution by 25% by 2030 (using 2022 as the base year).

Driven by a commitment to sustainability, our growth strategy integrates responsible practices across all operations—from design and production to the supply chain and sales.
