Romanian apparel company Brainconf Braila logged H1 sales worth 219.5 billion ROL (6 million euros), up 30% in ROL (4% in euros) since the year-ago period (170.4 billion ROL). At the same time, the company’s net profit rose to 39.8 billion ROL (almost 1.1 million euros), as compared to the 28.1 billion ROL (almost one million euros) posted in the corresponding period of last year. The company made two million shirts, most of which aimed at the foreign market, and only 100,000 for the domestic market. Brainconf exports mainly target European Union countries. “Whereas Brainconf’s exports used to be characterised by high geographical concentration until several years ago, with the bulk shipped to Italy and Germany, a positive evolution toward markets such as England and France has been registered lately,” reads the half-year report issued by the company. Thus, the company’s customers include renowned brands such as Kenzo, Givenchy, Rocha, Scerer, Versace Sport, Marella, Sisley, Cerutti, Gianfranco Ferre, Valentino, Benetton and Stefanel. ZF
