Gotech, a manufacturer of self-branded sports clothing, expects its turnover to double this year to 4 million euros at a time when exports are tripling. “We have firm orders for this year worth more than 4 million euros, and exports of our own-branded products account for over 50% of our sales,” Dinu Dobre, Gotech”s area sales manager, said. Gotech exports sports clothing (especially ski suits) to Hungary, Czech Republic, Bulgaria, Poland, Ukraine, Israel, Spain, Denmark and Russia. It has representative offices in Hungary (opened in 2003) and in the US (opened last year). After investing in its own brand, the company dropped production under contract over the last three years, after having previously manufactured for brands such as Vande, Urban Rock, Dunlop and Sajo. “This year we are still manufacturing for Mountain Hardware. We chose to stick with them because the offer remained attractive,” Dobre said. ZF
