WORTMANN: company turnover for the first time exceeded 800 million euros

The Wortmann group of companies from the German city of Detmold successfully coped with the crisis of last year. It increased its turnover for the past financial 2009 / 2010 (as of May 31) to 832,1 million euros (last year it amounted to 798,9 million euros). Thus, for the first time, the company managed to exceed the bar of 800 million euros. The company has achieved particularly great success in Germany. Here the turnover grew by more than 10%. In some foreign markets, in particular in the branded retail sector in Asia, the company suffered losses. The export share slightly decreased to 51,8% (in 2009, it amounted to 53,9%).

With the orders received this year, Wortmann is again looking forward to profit growth - consumer demand is seen in all markets. In Germany alone, in the first seven months of 2010, the increase in turnover in the footwear retail sector in Germany was about 4%.

The Tamaris system partnership is in great demand among shoe sellers: there are already working 359 Tamaris operating retail space (in March 2010 there were 261 of them), of which 139 were single-brand stores (in March there were 122) and 220 shops-in-store (in March there were 139 ) The total number of Tamaris retail space is 405 stores. This corresponds to an increase in 44% compared to last year.
