Conzzeta Group said its sporting goods business unit, Mammut Sports Group, achieved sales of CHF 111.9 ($98.9 million) in the first eight months through August 2008, a 9.2% improvement on the previous year. The company, based in Zurich, Switzerland, said Mammut Sports Group achieved clear growth in all its major markets.
“Even in the USA, the sales figures were higher, despite the weakness of the US currency,” Conzzeta Group said in a statement. “The growth trend in the clothing segment was particularly pleasing. Pre-orders for the 2008/09 winter season provided further grounds for confidence. The first retail outlet in Asia was established with the opening of a Mammut Store in Tokyo.”
