About
Le Col
In 2018, Puma deployed £2.4 million to support Le Col’s growth plans. Following the company’s continued strong performance, Puma made further investments, bringing the total amount invested up to £14.4 million.
In February 2026, Puma completed an exit of its investment in Le Col. This followed Le Col’s sale to HEAD Group, a leading global manufacturer of high-performance equipment and apparel for athletes at all levels with market leading positions in winter sports, racquet sports and water sports.
Puma was a long-standing investor in Le Col, supporting the brand as it scaled its international presence and e‑commerce capabilities.
