In 1948 Rudolf Dassler split from his brother's company, Adidas, to form his own shoe company called Puma. Over the years Puma has sponsored many athletes, and maintains partners in more than 80 contries

The Dassler brothers Adi (adolf) born in Germany 1900 and Rudolf, born in Germany 1902, were shoe makers. They saw a gap in the market and started making sports shoes (trainers) in 1920.

In the 1936 Olympics, the black American runner Jesse Owens, won four gold medals wearing a pair of trainers made by these two brothers.

The two brothers split, Adi taking Adidas and Rudolf starting up the shoe concern of Puma. Later on, when Adi died his daughters sold the company to French politician Bernard Tapie.
