Earlier this week, some media reported that the ski manufacturer has stopped production at its Tecnica Group Ski Excellence Center in Mittersill, Austria, which has triggered various suspicions and rumors because of the Covid-19 situation. The Tecnica Group has now officially commented and clarified that the Tecnica Group and its production company in Mittersill, Blizzard Sport, are doing well.  Despite the uncertain business environment caused by Covid-19, the Tecnica Group is launching numerous product innovations and new developments. The current business development of the group is about 10 percent above the market development of the winter sports industry. Tecnica said that the previously mentioned production break at the Mittersill site takes place at this time every year as part of the group’s long-term production planning. The group’s skis are produced over the summer for operational reasons, with production generally being completed by early December. There are no short-term or unusual changes to the production plan and there are no redundancies. The annual production break concerns - as usual - only the production personnel. All other employees in sales, customer service and marketing are working normally in Mittersill.
