In April, shareholders agreed to rename the company from Fila Holdings Corp. to Misto Holdings as part of a larger refocus on the business. The company said at the time that the change aimed to 'further solidify its position as a global brand portfolio company' citing that its previous name was closely associated with the Fila brand, which led to a 'limited perception' of its broader portfolio and global brand management role. (In addition to Fila, Misto Holdings also manages brands such as Titleist, FootJoy, Scotty Cameron and many others.) In fiscal 2024, the company saw consolidated revenue reach 4.27 trillion won, a 6.5 percent year-on-year increase from 2023. Originating from the sportswear brand Fila, founded in Italy in 1911, Misto Holdings acquired Fila's global business in 2007 and became a publicly traded entity on the Korean stock market in 2010. In 2011, the company expanded further with the acquisition of Acushnet Holdings Corp., home to premium golf brands such as Titleist, FootJoy, Scotty Cameron, Kjus and Vokey.
