About Nidecker Group

The Nidecker Group is home to the most innovative and inspirational board sports and lifestyle brands: Bataleon, Emerica, éS, Etnies, Jones, Nidecker, Rome, Thirtytwo and YES. We create, operate, and accelerate industry-leading brands internationally with one goal: to inspire and enable athletes to lead the progression of their sport. Founded in 1887 in the Swiss Alps and one hundred percent family owned, every generation has been fueled by a passion for innovation and board sports. We began our story as master craftsmen, making wooden wheels and tables before moving on to sleds and cross-country skis. In 1912 we started manufacturing alpine skis, then water skis, monoskis and finally snowboards in 1984. Today, we are the oldest board sports company in the world and have built highly successful brands, which have played an integral role in the evolution of every industry in which we’ve been involved for over five generations.
