Canadian winter accessories brand KOMBI is advancing its strategic expansion into Europe for the 2024-25 season, bolstered by a 30-year presence in Scandinavia (Norway, Sweden, Denmark and Finland),.
In 2023, KOMBI consolidated its presence in France and is now available at 80 retailers, among them Ekosport, Sun Valley, Espace Montagne, Montaz and Sport Speck. This includes locations in some of the most prestigious ski resorts in the French Alps. KOMBI is now strengthening its presence in three key markets: Italy, the U.K. and Switzerland. This new phase of international growth reflects the brand’s commitment to offering premium winter accessories to outdoor enthusiasts, worldwide.
“Over the past five years, KOMBI’s international expansion has doubled sales,” said Mark Pascal, KOMBI’s president and CEO, “establishing our position as a leading brand in the winter accessories category.”
KOMBI is Canada’s leading winter accessories brand, known for gloves and mittens but a complete range of winter accessories, including base layers, ski socks, goggles and heated products. KOMBI is sold in over 1,500 retailers across the country, as well as in over 60 ski resorts, including Whistler Blackcomb, Mont-Sainte-Anne, Sunshine Village and Blue Mountain. The KOMBI boutique at Mont-Tremblant’s Grand Manitou chalet was recently renovated and reopened for the 2024-25 winter season.
KOMBI is also, in response to challenges posed by climate change, working on a project to offer a range of products, year-round. With winters becoming increasingly unpredictable, the company is developing a range of accessories designed to perform in a variety of conditions, from biting cold and freezing rain to torrential downpours. This forward-thinking approach, it noted, reflects KOMBI’s commitment to innovation.
