Amer Sport Organization, owner of the iconic French wheel brand, Mavic, announced today, that it has purchased the American wheel company, ENVE Composites, for $50 million.
Over the last few years, the Ogden, Utah based ENVE, has become synonymous with upper-end carbon rims, wheels and components, rapidly becoming the supplier of carbon fiber forks for many of the world’s top independent frame builders.
According to Amer, the purchase was an all-cash transaction, with the final closing expected to take place this spring.
First launched as EDGE Composites in 2005 by Jason Schiers, the company was forced to change its name to ENVE in 2010, due to a conflict with another European brand bearing the same name.
According to ENVE, the brand boasts yearly sales of around $30 million.
