Gino Rossi plans new factory, sales abroad

Footwear producer and retailer Gino Rossi wants to increase its manufacturing capacity by building or acquiring a  production plant, the company’s CEO Tomasz Malicki told the Polish Press Agency in an interview. In 2015 the company will decide whether to build a new factory in Poland, for some PLN 10-12 million, or to take over an existing one in Italy, Malicki said. Another option is to build a smaller production plant and to carry out another acquisition. The CEO also said that the company may open two-three stores in the Czech Republic in September or October. It is also considering expansion in Slovakia and looking for distributors in Germany, Scandinavia, the Balkans and the Baltic States.
