In order to ensure its competitiveness and to increase efficiency, Amer Group is re-organising its Wilson businesses in the USA. In the new structure, the businesses will be divided into two business areas: Golf and racquet sports and Team sports.
As a result, Steve Millea will take over responsibility for the golf and racquet sports business globally. Mr Millea previously worked as the Vice President for Wilson's international operations. Team Sports will continue as a separately managed business unit under the leadership of Chris Considine. Both Mr Millea and Mr Considine will report to Mr Roger Talermo, President and CEO of Amer Group.
Simultaneously, Wilson's central administration functions will be discontinued and decentralised. Jim Baugh will leave his position as the President of Wilson Sporting Goods Co.
Amer Group's operations in North America are supported by the local Amer Sports Services organisation. Amer Sports North America Services covers the following departments: legal, tax and cash management. In addition, it covers logistics strategy. The unit serves centrally all Wilson, Atomic, Suunto and Precor operations in North America.
Putting the new structure in place will start immediately. More information about the changes will be provided during the coming months, as appropriate.
