Puma

Puma is one of the leading brands in the sports industry. The company's history begins in Germany where two young German brothers, Rudolf and Adolf Dassler, started a shoe company called the "Dassler Brothers Shoe Factory". During World War II differences between the two brothers caused them to split, each creating their own independent shoe company. Adolf named his company after his name "Adi", for Adolf and "Das" for his last name, Adidas. Rudolf did the same and created a company called Ruda, that later on became what we know today as Puma. In the following years Puma took off quickly, sponsoring soccer world cups as well as many sports in the Olympics. Toda Puma is a company of great size; it has approximately 9,204 employees and distributes its products in more than 80 countries and their own stores all over the world.
