Leitner has their head office in Sterzing in Northern Italy. In 2000, the parent<br />
company of Leitner also acquired Poma. Since the merger, the Leitner and Poma<br />
brands have remained independent (u<strong>nl</strong>ike Doppelmayr-Garaventa) forming a<br />
strategic partnership and combining activities such as the purchase of raw materials<br />
and R&D investment. One of the advantages of remaining independent appears to be<br />
that both brands continue to exploit their competitive advantage in their domestic<br />
markets. The Leitner-Poma Group has a market share of approximately 40-45%; this<br />
has remained broadly unchanged over the past decade. Table 2.13 below presents the<br />
types of installations delivered by Leitner between 2005 and 2011. In 2010, Leitner<br />
and Poma together realised a total of 87 installations.<br />

Poma is based in Grenoble, France, but has subsidiary companies throughout the<br />
world. It is estimated that 50% of Poma’s business is located within France; however,<br />
increasingly strong markets for Poma include North America, Asia (particularly<br />
China) and Latin America (where cableways are increasingly being used in an urban<br />
setting) (Le Moci, 2010). While business not linked to winter tourism is an area that<br />
