This allows our customers to choose the right outfit for their currently consciously reduced excursions and to secure special favorite items for later hiking adventures.” The company Schöffel-Lowa-Sportartikel, based in Schwabmünchen in Germany, is a joint venture of the two independently operating outdoor specialists Schöffel and Lowa, who each hold a 50 percent share in the company. Most of the stores are managed by franchise partners.
