The acquisition was designed to broaden Quiksilver beyond clothes to sporting goods. Rossignol makes skies, snowboards and related gear. But Rossignol, which was losing money and market share before Quiksilver bought it, has been a drag on the company. Executives said in January they planned to sell Rossignol. Shares of Quiksilver were up nearly 11% at close of trading on a market value of $1 billion. Cercley ran Rossignol before the sale to Quiksilver. In 2006, he joined Wichita, Kan.-based Coleman Co. as head of its European operations. Coleman is part of Jarden.
