The Conzzeta Group reported that its Sporting Goods business unit, which consists of the Mammut Sports Group, increased sales in in 2009 by 11.8 % to CHF 215.3 million ($201.9 mm) from CHF 192.6 million ($180.6 mm).
In its annual statement, Conzzeta said that in its clothing segment, the snow and alpine/mountain collections “were in particular demand; while in technical products, the avalanche rescue device Barryvox and the headlamp made good progress. There was vigorous sales growth in the markets of Germany, Switzerland, Italy and Great Britain, as well as in important new markets such as Japan and Korea, where the business unit invested in building up the sales network. Mammut also succeeded in growing in the USA, against the market trend. The development of sales in Eastern Europe failed to meet expectations, above all because of the adverse exchange rate situation. Further Mammut Stores and numerous shops-in-shop were opened in 2009 in collaboration with specialist retailers.”
