Grisport has opened its first German store in Solingen. The Italian producer of hiking and trekking shoes already has 18 stores in Western Europe, Eastern Europe and China. They reached a turnover of €130 million in 2013, up from €109 million in the previous year, thanks to a 16 percent increase outside the Italian market, which represents only about 25 percent of the turnover. There was good growth across most regions, and especially in China and Japan. Sales in Italy went down, but they are expected to grow again this year.
