Coreupt, a French company specializing in freeride skis and accessories, is to be liquidated. Established in 2008 by Guerlain Chicherit, a French freeride champion, the brand expanded fast to reach annual sales of about €1.3 million with twelve employees. Unable to finance its growing business, Coreupt went into receivership in May and managers spent the last months searching for investors to give the company a fresh start. However, the talks failed and the commercial tribunal in Chambéry confirmed that Coreupt would be liquidated. Managers are still hopeful that the brand may be purchased and a small range was prepared for this purpose.
