Who is the owner of Puma?

The popular franchise became public in 1986 and got listed on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange. The current chief executive officer of the company is Arne Freundt, who took over from Bjorn Gulden. So, who found the company? In 1924, two brothers, Rudolf and Adolf, founded a shoe factory named Gebruder Dassler Schuhfabrik.

It was the only shoe factory that produced sports shoes in those days. Due to inadequate power supply, they used pedal power to run machines. They secured their first African-American sponsorship by convincing Jesse Owens, an America-based sprinter, to use their shoes.

However, come 1948, the two brothers split to expand individually, whereby Adolf founded Adidas, and Rudolf initiated his own brand and named it Ruda, which consequently changed to Puma Schuhfabrik Rudolf Dassler.

After a few years, the West German National Football Team wore Puma shoes in the first football match and even convinced Armin Hary to wear them for the 100-meter sprint finale in the 1960 Olympics.

Following their buyers' reviews, Puma became public and got listed on Frankfurt Stock and Borse Munchen in 1986. In the subsequent years, the franchise has industrialized bit by bit, and today, it is one of the significant sports manufacturing companies in the world.
