Investigators from the Competition Authority Also Conduct Raid at Blizzard Factory in Salzburg

"The company is convinced that it has always acted in full compliance with the applicable laws and immediately offered its full cooperation to the involved authorities. It provided all requested information and documents and reaffirmed its full confidence in the work of the competent authorities," the Tecnica statement continued. In addition to Blizzard, Tecnica owns brands such as Moon Boot, Lowa, and Nordica. The EU Commission emphasized in a release on Monday that such inspections neither mean that the companies in question have been found guilty of anti-competitive behavior, nor do they prejudge the outcome of the investigation. The EU investigators were accompanied by officials from the relevant national competition authority.
