Huntington Beach-based Quiksilver Inc. said Tuesday it plans to consolidate its burgeoning ski operations at a new center in Park City, Utah.
The site will house the U.S. operations of the company’s Rossignol, Dynastar, Lange and Look units. It also will be home to Quiksilver’s recently announced Roxy ski business targeting young women.
The move comes after Quiksilver recently wrapped up its $312 million buy of France’s Skis Rossignol SA.
The U.S. operations for Rossignol and Dynastar currently are based in Vermont.
Quiksilver said it would cost about $5 million to move the units to Park City. The company expects to sell the Vermont operations, which are valued at more than $4 million, Quiksilver said.
Quiksilver also said it has been offered up to $2.5 million in tax incentives to build the Park City complex from the state of Utah.
Quiksilver’s existing snowboard businesses are based in Washington State. The company also has an existing snowboard boot unit in Park City that’s tied to its DC Shoes unit.
The combined Utah complex will be called the Mountain Center. Quiksilver also plans to set up a distribution facility in the greater Salt Lake City area that will serve the Americas territory.
Quiksilver said that many of Rossignol’s administrative functions such as treasury, human resources and legal, will be consolidated in Huntington Beach.
The Park City consolidation is expected to start in spring.
