Sports equipment manufacturer Adidas announced today that it will bring Kasper Roršted, who until now was a director at Henkel, to head the company.

Adidas stated that instead of the current director Herbert Heiner, the company will be led by Roršted, who was the head of Henkel's department for household products, as of October 1.

The head of the board of directors of Adidas, Igor Landau, stated in a statement that the Dane Roršted (53) is the "perfect candidate" given his international experience in the companies Oracle, Compaq and Hewlett Packard, in addition to eight years at the head Henkel.

Landau said that Heiner (61) "did a great job" in his 15 years at the helm of Adidas, as during his tenure sales tripled, while the value of the company increased from three to 18 billion euros.

Adidas shares jumped after the news broke - after a 12 percent rise, they stabilized at around plus seven percent.
