The company manufactures technologically advanced snow guns, snow lances and snowmaking systems, and operates in Romania and Austria
Key points
The acquisition of a well-established Polish company to bring us even closer to the emerging ski destinations of Eastern Europe.
The South Tyrolean HTI Group (High Technology Industries) – based in Vipiteno, with its products available in 88 countries worldwide, 22 production sites, 110 branches and 183 sales and service centres – has become the sole shareholder of Supersnow, a company specialising in the manufacture of technologically advanced snow guns, snow lances and snowmaking systems, with its headquarters in Poland and operations in Romania and Austria.
The company
Supersnow, one of the long-established companies in the European artificial snowmaking sector, is further strengthening the presence of HTI – a world-leading group in the cableway sector (Leitner, Poma, Bartholet), snow groomers, tracked vehicles and vegetation management (Prinoth and Jarraff), artificial snowmaking and dust suppression systems (Demaclenko, HKD and WLP), wind power (Leitwind), hydroelectric power (Troyer) and digitalised ski resort management (Skadii).
Supersnow ended the last financial year with a turnover of around 25 million euros and a workforce of over 120 employees. This acquisition forms part of the Group’s growth strategy, through which HTI has diversified its activities in recent years, both operationally and geographically.
The objective
According to a statement issued by HTI, the aim of the operation is to strengthen this partnership in the coming years, building on the continuity that the group will provide to Supersnow in taking forward strategic and infrastructure development projects across Eastern Europe, as well as expanding its innovative engineering initiatives.
