Two managers will be leaving Salewa by the end of May: Jürgen Nairz, director of retail, and Herwig Reus, marketing director. Apparently these executives could not find a common ground for future collaboration with the management of Salewa. Both managers had joined the Bolzano-based company at the end of 2005. While Nairz had previously been in charge of the retail operations of the German fashion brand S.Oliver, Reus had been involved in marketing for Adidas as it was setting up its outdoor business.
