Martti Uusitalo, who ran Halti between 2009 and 2014, has sold his shares in the Finnish company to the Ingman Group of shareholders, which now owns nearly 90 percent of the equity. Uusitalo, who recently acquired control of another Finnish firm, Vauhti Speed, has also left Halti's board of directors, chaired by Robert Ingman. Halti recently announced a new strategy to become more of a four-seasons brand, entering other active lifestyle and multisport product categories besides its traditional focus on outdoor, hiking and alpine skiing.
