                 New record sales for SportFits: 27% growth to € 31.1 million 
 Profitable growth through smart processes and strong brands 
 We are continuing our success story. In the 2024/25 financial year (March 1, 2024 to February 28, 2025), we increased our sales by 27% to € 31.1 million compared to the previous year. The net operating margin was once again in the  high single-digit percentage range , confirming our sustainable and profitable growth trajectory. 
 {paperlist headline=&quot;Key success factors&quot; show-on-brand-category=&quot;true&quot; items=[&quot;Strong categories: The outdoor, winter sports and camping segments in particular recorded significant growth rates.&quot;, &quot;Increased efficiency: Logistics efficiency was significantly improved thanks to end-to-end conveyor technology and the further optimized AutoStore system.&quot;, &quot;Highest customer satisfaction: SportFits was able to further expand its position as Germany&#039;s top-rated outdoor online store (Trustpilot: 4.7 | Trusted Shops &amp;amp; Idealo: 4.8 | Google: 4.7).&quot;] paperlist} 
 Statements from the management 
 {img number=&quot;2&quot; align=&quot;right&quot; caption=&quot;Our managing directors Martin and Florian name various reasons for our success.&quot; img} 
 Rapid sales growth and increased efficiency - we show how a strong brand strategy and state-of-the-art logistics automation together become a recipe for success. Our managing directors explain how exactly these factors drive our company&#039;s success. 
  Florian Weis, CEO : “A 27% increase in sales - with a stable margin - shows impressively that our strategic combination of proven existing brands and selected new additions such as Atomic, POC, Saucony and Fjällräven is exactly what our customers are looking for.” 
  Martin Bauer, CEO : &quot;The fully automated conveyor line across the entire logistics chain was crucial to our success. It allows us to ship faster, more resource-efficiently and more reliably than ever before - benefiting our team, our customers and the environment in equal measure.&quot; 
 Milestones for the 2024/25 financial year 
 {img number=&quot;4&quot; align=&quot;left&quot; caption=&quot;We have been able to continuously increase our turnover since 2017.&quot; img} 
 The past financial year at SportFits was characterized by increased efficiency, progress and process optimization in order to do justice to the growth of our company. 
  Use of artificial intelligence : AI-supported processes are increasingly shaping our day-to-day work. Specially developed software in customer service, for example, enables significantly shorter response times. Artificial intelligence also provides us with significant support in the areas of logistics, category management, marketing, IT and development. 
  Retail Media business realigned : The strategic realignment in the retail media business has enabled us to significantly deepen cooperation with our brand partners and tap into new growth and earnings potential. 
 Strategic outlook for 2026 
 We will continue to make targeted investments in our logistics and expand our product range to include  exclusive premium brands  such as Dynafit, Garmin, Goldbergh and Thule. From the second half of 2025, a strategically designed loyalty program will strengthen long-term customer loyalty. As a house of brands, we will also continue to systematically develop our high-reach portals  SportFits.eu ,  TouriSpo.com  and  Snow-Online.com  and expand them into a unique content and commerce ecosystem for outdoor enthusiasts.

                 Sustainable outdoor highlights to kick off your spring! 
  April is all about moving with intention. With our monthly motto &quot;Fit for you, fair to the planet&quot;, we’re here to show you how to make more sustainable choices—whether you’re navigating everyday life or planning a quick Easter getaway. Discover smart gear that blends functionality, style, and eco-conscious materials. After all, when you recharge in nature, it feels good to give something back.  
 Pack smart, travel light 
 As Easter approaches, many of us are heading outdoors—be it for camping trips, city breaks, or family visits. If you want to keep your travels eco-friendly, go for  durable travel bags  with clever compartments and resource-conscious construction. 
 Many of our brands use  recycled materials  and follow fair production practices. Whether you’re packing a weekender, rolling suitcase, or travel duffel, you’ll find sustainable travel gear ready to follow you anywhere. Here are a few standout picks: 
 {imagewithproducts number=&quot;6&quot; headline=&quot;&quot; showsupplier=&quot;1&quot; showprices=&quot;1&quot; showuvp=&quot;1&quot; products=[&quot;571-NF0A52RU53R1001&quot;,&quot;1122-EC0A5EJY230&quot;,&quot;1946-54V5626-P336-U&quot;,&quot;1122-EC050415820&quot;] colors=[&quot;53R&quot;,&quot;230&quot;,&quot;P336&quot;,&quot;820&quot;] imagewithproducts} 
   &amp;gt;&amp;gt; Discover sustainable travel accessories from Fjällräven   
 Feel-good gear for life on the go 
 Looking for pieces that feel good to wear—and feel good to wear ethically? These favorites have you covered: 
 {img number=&quot;4&quot; align=&quot;right&quot; caption=&quot;&quot; img}The  MoEa GEN8 - Cactus Full Aloe  sneaker fuses cutting-edge design with sustainable innovation. Made from cactus leather and recycled elements, this  unisex shoe  scores points for style, comfort, and its planet-friendly statement. Vegan, versatile, and ready for your day-to-day. 
 For outdoor enthusiasts, the  Vidda Pro Trousers M  from Fjällräven are a solid choice. Tough, weatherproof, and loaded with practical pockets, they&#039;re built for serious adventures. Pair them with the  Cirrus Flex Hoody from Rab —a lightweight, breathable insulated jacket that adapts to changing spring weather. Ideal for men who crave the outdoors. 
 Rain? Bring it on. 
 April showers? No big deal. When the weather shifts without warning, reliable gear makes all the difference. 
  Especially practical:  Versatile options like Jack Wolfskin’s 3-in-1 jackets adapt to unpredictable conditions with ease. Or check out Schöffel’s multifunctional jackets, which offer durability, smart design, and weather-ready performance. With gear like this, nothing can stop your next adventure. 
 {imagewithproducts number=&quot;7&quot; headline=&quot;&quot; showsupplier=&quot;1&quot; showprices=&quot;1&quot; showuvp=&quot;1&quot; products=[&quot;686-11153111010003&quot;,&quot;686-A618874136A04&quot;,&quot;46-23920-24000-4725-54&quot;,&quot;46-13598-24000-8820-34&quot;] colors=[&quot;1010&quot;,&quot;4136&quot;,&quot;4725&quot;,&quot;8820&quot;] imagewithproducts} 
 Spring transitions call for  weatherproof footwear . The  Scarpa Mojito Wrap Mid GTX  for men delivers with a mid-rise design, rugged build, and GORE-TEX® membrane—ideal for drizzly days with an outdoor edge. 
 For a more urban vibe, try the  Mojito Urban GTX . It brings everyday style and comfort together, making it perfect for casual outings and daily wear. Two stylish options to keep your feet dry and comfy&amp;nbsp;all spring long. 
   &amp;gt;&amp;gt; Casual shoes that handle any weather   
 Gear that goes the distance 
 Sustainability starts with choosing products made to last. Jackets like the  Lundhags Lo Ws Jacket  for women or the  Authentic Ms Jacket  for men are designed to stick with you through  countless seasons . 
 {img number=&quot;5&quot; align=&quot;right&quot; caption=&quot;&quot; img}The  Hanwag Grünten men’s hiking boot  is another great example—crafted from  durable materials  with expert workmanship built to adapt and endure. The longer your gear lasts, the better it is for the environment—and your adventures. 
 April might be unpredictable, but with the  right gear , you’re ready for whatever it brings. Well-prepared, sustainably equipped, and full of energy—your outdoor spring starts here!

Almost half of our orders are now processed by the machine and  over 150,000 parcels  have already been handled by this optimized process since it was commissioned. 
 But how exactly was the packaging process optimized? 
 The  automation of shipping  starts with the AutoStore robot warehouse. 
 {quote author=&quot;Our CEO Martin Bauer is delighted.” text=“You can imagine that only one single action is required from a packer to remove the product from the AutoStore, place it on the conveyor belt and from then on everything is fully automated.” quote} 
 The beck Serienpacker has quickly established itself as an indispensable part of our shipping process. The “adapta” add-on to the Serienpacker not only allows the length of the shipping bags to be adapted to the product, but also the width to be optimally varied. This flexibility means less material consumption and even more precise packaging. 
 In combination with our specially developed ERP software  Scalable , the shipping labels are generated automatically. The integrated  Legi-Air 4050 E label printer from Bluhm Systeme GmbH  then applies them to the parcels with impressive precision. A camera scans the QR code on the order to precisely assign the right label, while numerous sensors detect the product and adjust the shipping bag size. Using conveyor belt technology, the entire process from the picking table at the AutoStore to the shipping unit is almost completely automated&amp;nbsp;– a significant increase in efficiency that helps us to shorten delivery times and make optimum use of resources. 
 Manual vs. automatic packing&amp;nbsp;– we put it to the test 
 To test the beck Serienpacker in practice, we pitted the machine against four employees at packing tables. The orders were already prepared for both sides and only had to be packed for  three minutes . The results speak for themselves: at the end of the test,  eight parcels  were ready for dispatch at the four packing tables and the series packer completed  27 orders  in the same time. In addition, the machine takes up less space than the tables and packs without any further intervention by an employee.

 Technical highlights of the beck SXJ HP adapta vs Serienpacker 
 {img number=“3” align=“right” caption=“Space-saving and powerful: The SXJ HP Adapta VS Serienpacker from beck.” img} 
 Our beck packaging machine has numerous innovative functions that make it the perfect solution for our requirements. The special Serienpacker principle works with two rolls of flat film and precise 4-sided wrapping, which enables perfectly fitting packaging. Thanks to beck&#039;s state-of-the-art sealing technology, the seams are so stable that they can withstand even high stress during shipping and reliably protect the contents. 
 The products are fed via a separate pre-belt, with sensors measuring the width and height in order to optimally adjust the size of the shipping bag. Excess film material is automatically disposed of, making the packaging process even more sustainable and reducing the environmental impact. 
 {paperlist headline=“The advantages of the Serienpacker at a glance” items=[“Doubling the packing capacity”, “50% of all parcels now run through the machine”, “Over 150,000 parcels already packed with it since commissioning”, “Amortization in under 2 years”, “Integration into our own ERP system Scalable”, “Efficient and precisely fitting packaging”, “Reliable, precise sealing”, “Fully automated process”] paperlist} 
 Our look into the future of logistics 
 {img number=“2” align=“left” caption=&quot;Our warehouse and our entire logistics are constantly being optimized.” img} 
 Our partnership with beck Packautomaten impressively demonstrates how state-of-the-art technology can optimize logistics processes and make them more sustainable. With the beck SXJ HP Adapta VS Serienpacker, the AutoStore and the comprehensive conveyor belt technology, we have created a state-of-the-art shipping solution. 
 The investment in the packaging machine pays for itself quickly&amp;nbsp;– amortization is achieved in  less than two years , making the machine one of the fastest amortizing purchases in our company. This combination of innovation and efficiency ensures that we at SportFits are able to meet the increasing demands of the e-commerce market and sustainably strengthen our competitive position. 
 Warehouse automation at SportFits 
 As part of the investment project, SportFits invested in its warehouse infrastructure with the  support of the ERDF . The aim was to significantly accelerate and largely automate the logistical processes involved in warehousing and shipping sporting goods. 
 {img number=&quot;5&quot; align=&quot;right&quot; caption=&quot;&quot; img} 
 A  fully automated packaging line  was implemented for this purpose: The items are automatically transported from the storage location via a modern conveyor system to the packaging system, where they are packed and labelled for shipping directly - without any manual intermediate steps. 
 This process optimisation enables SportFits to work more efficiently, faster and even more customer-oriented. In addition, the new infrastructure creates the conditions for sustainable company growth.  This project is supported by the ERDF.

            <content type="html">
                <![CDATA[
                  Our Trend Brand Monitor is entering its second round! Last time, we looked at  all sales in 2023 , now it&#039;s getting a little more specific: this time we are analyzing the sales figures of our brands in summer 2024. Which manufacturers were particularly on trend? What are the reasons for the success of these brands? We took a look at what was so popular with SportFits this summer.  
 Summer frontrunners: biking and camping are very popular 
 After many customers equipped themselves with camping and cycling equipment during the coronavirus years, manufacturers have seen a corresponding drop in sales in recent years. This trend now seems to have reversed, judging by the figures from SportFits. 
 &amp;nbsp; 
 {img number=“2” align=“left” img} 
  1st Place: Sweet Protection  
 At the top of the list of the most successful brands of summer 2024 is   Sweet Protection   with a 192.06 percent increase in sales compared to the previous year. The Norwegian outdoor outfitter is primarily known for its advanced helmets and reliable protective equipment. In summer 2024, the  Falconer 2Vi Mips Helmet , the Falconer  Aero 2Vi Mips Helmet  and the  Outrider Mips Helmet  were particularly popular with SportFits. All three models are equipped with Mips technology, offer excellent protection and are very comfortable to wear. At the  Tour de France  2024, Sweet Protection also equipped the Norwegian Uno-X Mobility Team, which generated a lot of interest in the brand. Sweet Protection also gets a lot of attention on  social media , where the brand&#039;s styles are popular with influencers and cycling fans. 
 {img number=“14” align=“right” caption=&quot;Perfectly protected with equipment from Alpina. ©Alpina” img} 
  2nd Place: Alpina  
   Alpina  , a renowned manufacturer of helmets, sports goggles and protectors, also took second place in our ranking. The German brand achieved sales growth of 190.41 percent in SportFits. The most popular products here were also three high-performance bike helmets: the Gent Mips, which received top marks in all tests, the Rupi, which provides children with all-round protection on every tour, and the newly launched  Apax Mips , which is an off-road all-rounder and now also features the latest Mips technology. The new, high-quality products are enjoying great popularity, which is not least due to modern marketing, which in addition to traditional strategies also focuses heavily on  selected brand ambassadors  in social media. 
 {img number=“3” align=“left” caption=&quot;Small, stowable and perfect for any camping trip: the mats from Exped. ©Exped” img} 
  3rd Place: Exped  
 In third place in our ranking, with sales growth of 153.01 percent, are the sleeping mat pioneers from   Exped  . This summer, we are experiencing a new upswing in the camping sector in our store, especially for high-quality equipment. With popular classics that are perfect for tents and vans, such as the  Megamat 10 , but also extra-light models such as the  Ultra 3R  and robust mats such as the  Dura 5R , Exped was able to score points with SportFits. The Swiss brand&#039;s  ingenious design and decades of experience  are reflected in the quality of its products and ensure customer confidence. What has also contributed to the success is the good availability of Exped&#039;s wide range of products, which has enabled us to optimally display the range in our store. 
 {img number=“10” align=“right” caption=&quot;Superfit shoes are perfect for active children. ©Superfit” img} 
 No compromises when buying shoes: Superfit and Timberland 
 Many parents are becoming increasingly aware of how important good shoes are for children, which is why manufacturers such as   Superfit   are becoming more and more popular. The Austrian brand achieved sales growth of 108.51% at SportFits, making it the first pure shoe brand in our ranking. The most popular models this summer are the lightweight sneaker  Breeze  and the flexible sandals  Sparkle  and  Lagoon . In addition to the colorful, lovingly designed shoes and the  ergonomic soles  specially adapted to children&#039;s feet, Superfit also impresses with its excellent price-performance ratio. 
 &amp;nbsp; 
 {img number=“8” align=“left” caption=&quot;Timberland classics are experiencing a new hype. ©Timberland” img} 
   Timberland   is a brand in our ranking that is known and loved worldwide for its timeless classics - the 97.67 percent increase in sales and the bestsellers in our store are proof of this. The  Mens Classic Boat Shoes  in  various designs  were very popular with our customers, but the most well-known model from the American brand also took first place in the summer: the  6 Inch Lace Up Waterproof Boot , which accompanies you on outdoor adventures as well as in everyday life. The well-known classics are currently experiencing a new hype, which is clearly noticeable in our store. 
 &amp;nbsp; 
 &amp;nbsp; 
 Aiming high with La Sportiva and Salewa 
 It is no coincidence that   La Sportiva   is the world market leader in climbing and high-altitude mountaineering shoes. The brand is also extremely popular with SportFits and achieved growth of 86.82 percent in summer 2024. The best-selling products are the  Bushido II Woman GTX , the  Helios III  and the  Bushido II Woman . All three shoes can be used flexibly in everyday life and for sports, but are particularly popular for one trend sport: trail running. What has also led to the brand&#039;s great success at SportFits is the connection of our system to their stocks, which has enabled us to always reorder their favorite products for our customers 
 {img number=“6” align=“right” caption=&quot;We have specifically promoted Salewa&#039;s new collections.” img} 
 The northern Italian brand   Salewa   stood out this summer thanks to its innovation. Fresh, new collections, state-of-the-art technologies, creative strategies and a completely new brand image as a result.  Targeted marketing measures  at SportFits brought the new products even closer to our customers. There are therefore several reasons for the 69.01 percent growth in sales. By far the most popular Salewa shoe was the  Wildfire Canvas M , followed by the  Wildfire 2 GTX M  and the  MS Wildfire Edge . The three models with a great price-performance ratio are suitable for versatile mountain tours and via ferratas. According to Salewa, their shoes are currently experiencing a general upswing again, but the success of SportFits is exceptionally high. For Salewa, the collaboration is therefore also an important reason for the brand&#039;s success in our store: 
 {quote author=“Salewa about SportFits” text=&quot;SportFits is the best example of achieving outstanding results in difficult times with outstanding work and a team that lives and breathes sport. Especially in the specialist area (such as hiking boots without membranes), where the customer often doesn&#039;t get the choice in stationary retail, we can achieve great growth with SportFits!” quote} 
 {img number=“7” align=“left” caption=&quot;Sales in the summers of 2024 and 2023 in comparison.” img} 
 Always well protected with Uvex and Scott 
 Another expert for helmets and goggles in our ranking is the German brand   Uvex   with an 82.92% increase in sales compared to the previous year. The most popular products in our store were the Urban Planet and Urban Planet LED, two city helmets that not only meet the  highest safety standards  and look stylish, but are also made from recycled, bio-based materials. What surprised us was that our top helmets are not really among the bestsellers at Uvex - so we cover products here that are not necessarily found at other retailers. 
 &amp;nbsp; 
 {img number=“11” align=“right” caption=&quot;Not only the helmets, but also the shoes from Scott are extremely popular. ©Scott” img} 
 Another brand that is benefiting from the fact that cycling is becoming extremely popular again after the brief lull following the coronavirus years is   Scott  . The growth of 25.98% compared to summer 2023 clearly shows that bike fans continue to rely on quality brands. Cyclists will find everything they need for their tours in the American manufacturer&#039;s wide range. The bestsellers at SportFits show that customers now not only value safe helmets, but also reliable shoes: the  Sports Crus-r Boa , the  Mtb Comp Boa  and the Road Comp Boa are Scott&#039;s best-selling products at SportFits, along with the  Arx Plus (ce)  helmet. When it comes to marketing, Scott relies on a targeted strategy with us, but also on collaborations with well-known professional athletes such as Nino Schurter, which help the brand to become even better known. 
 Fully equipped for every outdoor adventure with NEMO, Leki and Osprey 
 The American outdoor outfitter   NEMO   has become a secret favorite brand within our company. Not only because cooperation always runs smoothly, but also because NEMO&#039;s high-quality products are extremely light, robust and reliable. The 67 percent growth in sales is also due to the wide product range, which is also reflected in our bestsellers of the summer: The  Tensor Ultralight Sleeping Pad , the  Moonlite Elite Reclining Camp Chair , the  Tensor All-Season 2024 Mat  and the  Hornet Osmo 2-person tent . Nemo himself says about the summer success: 
 {quote author=“NEMO on sales growth at SportFits” text=&quot;High quality, sustainability and products that enhance the outdoor experience are top priorities at NEMO Equipment - this is also reflected in the retail trade and makes customers reach for NEMO products.”quote} 
 Many people know  Leki  as a manufacturer of premium gloves, but in summer the German brand shines above all with its selection of high-quality hiking and trekking poles. The  Ultratrail FX.One , the  Ultratrail FX.One Superlite  and the  Makalu FX Carbon  were particularly popular in our store. The fact that Leki was able to achieve a 56.82% increase in sales in summer 2024 is partly due to the increasing popularity of the trend sport of trail running, for which the poles are perfectly suited. This, combined with strategic marketing measures at SportFits, led to a significant increase in sales. 
 {img number=“13” align=“left” caption=&quot;Particularly popular with a young target group: backpacks from Osprey. ©Osprey” img} 
 With an impressive sales growth of 44.2 percent,   Osprey   is holding its own against the competition. The particularly ergonomic backpacks are perfectly designed for specific purposes, but the range also includes versatile all-rounders. Osprey is particularly popular with a  young and travel-loving target group , which the brand has noticed especially with SportFits: “Our customers particularly like to buy travel backpacks for longer trekking tours, for traveling and for backpacking. We used targeted marketing measures such as competitions, newsletters, banners and performance teasers to promote these topics at SportFits in particular. 
 &amp;nbsp; 
 How exactly is the Trend Brand Monitor calculated? 
  We wanted to find out which brands achieved the  greatest sales growth  in our store this summer compared to summer 2023. To do this, we looked at the anonymized sales data of our almost 600,000 customers from the beginning of March to the end of July 2024 and compared the results with the same period last year. We preselected the brands in order to narrow down the list somewhat and make the figures more comparable: they had to have generated sales of  at least 50,000 euros  in both periods and achieved sales growth of  over 20 percent .

                <![CDATA[
                  Which brands are particularly popular on SportFits and why? We explore this question in our new Trend Brand Monitor. As one of the largest online sporting goods retailers in Bavaria, we now have 200 renowned brands from the outdoor, camping, bike and winter sports sectors in our range. Over 250,000 products were sold last year alone. We analyzed which trend brands went through the roof in 2023 and the reasons for this.  
 What criteria are used to calculate the Trend Brand Monitor? 
 In order to draw conclusions about the success of individual brands and products, we took a closer look at the anonymized purchase data of our approximately 600,000 customers. Which brands achieved a  large increase in sales  compared to the previous year? Which products were particularly popular and why? 
 In order to make the figures for 2023 more comparable, we only took into account brands that were already online on SportFits in the entire previous year and achieved an annual turnover of at least 10,000 euros. For the time being, we have not differentiated between small niche brands and large volume brands in this general ranking. But this much can already be revealed: In first and second place this year, two “small” brands prevailed over the higher-turnover “big” brands. 
 The  reasons for the increase within the top 10 brands are manifold : from excellently implemented marketing strategies to exceptionally popular products and optimizations in the logistics chain, everything was included. 
 Specialists on the winners&#039; podium 
 {img number=“5” align=“left” caption=&quot;Rudy Project achieved the highest sales growth at SportFits in 2023.” img} 
  1st place: Rudy Project  
 The most successful trend brand in 2023 is   Rudy Project   with sales growth of an impressive 313 percent. This niche brand is a huge surprise! The Italian company is known for its functional and high-quality cycling helmets and goggles, which are sold worldwide. The best-selling  Nytron  and  The Wing  helmets, which combine stylish design with top performance and aerodynamic properties, were very popular. What made Rudy Project even better known in 2023 was the launch of new  Kelion sports goggles  as part of the Tour de France. Maximum attention at the world&#039;s most famous cycling event. 
 &amp;nbsp; 
 {quote author=“Rudy Project on the success of the brand in 2023” text=&quot;Outdoor activities such as cycling and jogging have become even more attractive even after the pandemic. Only a small proportion of them wear suitable and functional sports eyewear. Offering high-quality sports eyewear and cycling helmets should be an integral part of a competent sports retailer&#039;s product range.  Rudy Project stands for excellence in the world of sports eyewear and cycling helmets. The brand is characterized by in-depth production knowledge and the tireless search for material quality. The constant commitment to technological innovation has led it to develop solutions that meet the needs of top athletes and then provide the know-how for everyday products.” quote} 
 &amp;nbsp; 
 {img number=“9” align=“right” caption=&quot;Extremely popular with snowboarders in particular: Level gloves.” img} 
  2nd place: Level  
   Level   came in just behind the winner of the ranking with an increase of 312 percent. The northern Italian brand is one of the world&#039;s leading manufacturers of gloves for skiers and snowboarders, with the  Fly  and  Fly Mitten  models, among others, impressing our customers with their perfect protection against the cold and wet. Another reason for the company&#039;s continued success is its  close cooperation with professional athletes , who win numerous competitions and prizes wearing Level gloves. Level itself is pleased that its measures are achieving positive results and says about the enormous growth of SportFits: 
 {quote author=“Level about the success at SportFits” text=&quot;Level’s growth at SportFits is a result of our commitment to innovation, quality, and sustainability. Our Green Choice products and Thermoplus technology provide great solutions for our customers, while our fantastic team and media efforts have really helped raise brand awareness.” quote} 
 &amp;nbsp; 
 {img number=“4” align=“left” caption=“Rudy Project, Level and Hestra are the top 3 trending brands at SportFits 2023.” img} 
  3rd place: Hestra  
 With growth of 297 percent,   Hestra   is another glove specialist on the winners&#039; podium in third place. The Swedish brand has been producing reliable gloves for outdoor, cycling and winter sports for over 80 years and is currently the strongest glove brand at SportFits. The  Army Leather line  with a combination of army leather and polyamide fabric is the most popular in our shop. However, it was not only the  wide range  of fashion and sports gloves that had a positive effect on the strong increase in sales, but also the good availability for reordering, so that a large selection was always available for our customers. 
 Hestra is also delighted with last year&#039;s results:  {quote author=“Hestra on growth in 2023” text=&quot;A combination of many factors: Sportfists has a very wide range of Hestra products in its range, which is extremely important for us as a glove specialist. In addition, many customers are looking for high-quality products. At Hestra, craftsmanship is paramount and the customer can feel this immediately when he puts on the glove. We look forward to another outstanding collaboration!” quote} 
 &amp;nbsp; 
 The other trend brands at a glance 
  The experienced heavyweights La Sportiva &amp;amp; The North Face  
 Other trend brands that have multiplied their sales with us are   La Sportiva   with 239 percent and   The North Face   with 173 percent sales growth. Both brands are not only trend brands at SportFits, but are also among the top brands in terms of absolute sales figures. For these two brands in particular, the digital connection to the manufacturers&#039; inventories has proven its worth. In this context, the long-term analysis of sales by our specially developed ERP system also came into play, allowing us to increase the number of popular products and remove less popular ones from the range. 
 {img number=“8” align=“right” caption=&quot;Targeted marketing measures, such as banners and newsletters, ensured even better sales figures for Houdini.” img} 
 Scandinavian design and targeted marketing at Houdini 
 Sustainability pioneer   Houdini   made a strong impression last year with its  clean design and extremely high-quality products &amp;nbsp;– typical of the Swedish brand. As a pioneer of sustainable innovation, Houdini is particularly popular with customers who attach great importance to environmentally friendly products. In combination with targeted marketing campaigns on SportFits, which focused on specific products and Houdini&#039;s latest collections, an impressive sales growth of 216 percent was achieved. 
 &amp;nbsp; 
  The outdoor experts Outdoor Research &amp;amp; Helly Hansen  
 With   Outdoor Research   (+ 176 percent) and   Helly Hansen   (+ 112 percent), two top-class outdoor outfitters are also among the trend brands at SportFits. At Outdoor Research, the availability of special niche products, such as  one-man bivy tents  or  sun hats , was the main reason for the increase in sales figures. Helly Hansen consolidated its position at SportFits as a hip, fashionable urban outdoor brand. 
 {img number=“2” align=“left” caption=“An overview of the percentage increase in sales of the top 10 trend brands at SportFits 2023.” img} 
  Always popular: Puma  
 The only German brand to achieve significant sales growth at SportFits is   Puma   with 123 percent. The company&#039;s high profile, as well as its collaboration with numerous clubs, successful athletes and well-known influencers, are helping Puma&#039;s  fashionable and high-quality products  to become even more popular. 
  Equipped for adventure with Exped  
 The Swiss outdoor specialist  Exped  (+116 percent) is the only brand in our ranking that does not offer clothing, but instead focuses entirely on high-quality outdoor and camping equipment. The  sleeping mats and camping pillows  in particular have recently been in high demand at SportFits. 
 Not only positive developments 
 In addition to winners, every ranking also has a few losers who were  unable to repeat their success from the previous year . These included Pyua on SportFits in 2023. The young, very innovative and sustainable brand had to file for bankruptcy and has thus said goodbye to the market. Many a camping outfitter, whose sleeping bags and water filtration systems were in high demand during the pandemic and the Ukraine crisis, also had to contend with a drop in demand. 
 Further analyses 
 In the  next step , we will also analyze specific areas such as individual sports, product categories and seasons. In future, we will regularly examine our sales figures from different angles in order to obtain even more precise results on the development of the brands in our store and the corresponding movement on the sporting goods market.

 Sustainability and lightness: the trends in the outdoor industry 
 {img number=&quot;5&quot; align=&quot;right&quot; caption=&quot;The new collection from Berghaus&quot; img}&amp;nbsp;As  last year , it was noticeable that many brands are acting in an environmentally conscious manner. The sustainable manufacturing process for outdoor items relies on recyclable materials and energy-efficient production processes to minimise the ecological footprint.&amp;nbsp; 
 The trend towards lighter products is also continuing. The  award winner  from the  Rab  brand (see image below) deserves special mention here. The Veil XP30 weighs just 0.545kg and is a masterpiece of functionality and lightness. Rab is setting new standards in the field of IP-certified rucksacks with the introduction of the ultra-light model, which also impresses with its environmentally friendly design.&amp;nbsp; 
 On the other hand, the  deuter   Speed Light Pro Backpack  (see picture below) is also worth mentioning. Deuter has thoroughly revamped its Speed Lite Pro collection and added helpful, simple and practical features. The new  LiteAir back system  guarantees an optimum mix of light weight, high strength and effective air circulation thanks to in-built ventilation channels. To summarise: The rucksack is now lighter, offers better breathability and places greater emphasis on sustainable materials. 
 There is a wide range of colour trends - from bright orange, green or red to earth tones and pastel blue and mint.

   &amp;gt;&amp;gt; More news&amp;nbsp;on the award winners   
 A look into the future 
 Even though the past year was not easy for everyone in the industry and some had to contend with an oversupply of products, massive discount battles and significantly declining margins, there is optimism for the future. According to the press conference, a new concept for the trade fair will be launched in 2025. Three central changes are at the center of attention 
 - The halls will be organised like a city. - Additional target groups such as product design, marketing, technology or service will be also addressed. - Areas for business or private discussions promote effective networking and expand the opportunities for dialogue on site. 
 We are already very excited and looking forward to it!

                 SportFits exceeds growth predictions for 2023 despite weak consumer sentiment 
  The Passau-based e-commerce specialist for outdoor, bike &amp;amp; winter sports articles SportFits can look back on the most successful financial year in its history despite numerous challenges. While the German online retail sector suffered a 12% year-on-year decline in sales for the first time in 2023, SportFits not only exceeded the targets it had set itself, but was also well above the industry average. Sales increased by 31 percent from 18.6 to 24.4 million euros. The net operating margin before depreciation, inventory valuation and taxes is 6.51 percent. The company was thus able to grow profitably for the sixth year in a row.  
 Milestones of the past business year 
 {img number=&quot;2&quot; align=&quot;right&quot; caption=&quot;The new company building was moved into in the fall of 2023.&quot; img} 
 The year 2023 was shaped, above all, by changes for SportFits. The  new company building , which is located in Salzweg, north of Passau, was moved into in fall. In addition to the larger office and warehouse space, the centerpiece of the building is the fully automated AutoStore system, which has greatly increased storage capacity and efficiency. Shipping figures have tripled in the new logistics center to up to 6,000 parcels per day. 
 SportFits has also been a  member of the Sport 2000 group  since the end of 2023, which further strengthens the partnerships with the individual brands and its own position in premium sports retail. To take account of the change of season in the sports industry, the financial year was adjusted in 2023 and now always ends at the end of February. 
 Improving customer satisfaction was the primary goal 
 The investments in faster logistics were also accompanied by numerous improvements in customer service in 2023. For example, the company began using  specially developed AI software  to answer customer inquiries fully automatically in some cases. “On average, our customers received their parcels 1.5 days faster than in the previous year. Customer tickets were answered up to 48 hours faster during the peak season”, explains Martin Bauer, Head of Development. The result is measurable. Trust scores on TrustedShops increased from  4.2 to 4.6  and on TrustPilot from  3.9 to 4.5 . These trust scores are the most important indicators of customer satisfaction in e-commerce. 
 Intelligent product management as a focus for 2024 
 Florian Weis, CEO of SportFits, is confident: “Our customers can also look forward to great new brands in the SportFits range in 2024. Lowa, Hanwag and POC will be joining our existing 200 brands this year. We also want to grow profitably in the new business year.” 
 At the same time, the specially developed ERP software will ensure that less profitable products disappear from the range. “In the future, we will continue to focus on offering precisely those products that generate the highest contribution margin for us”, says Martin Bauer. This will be achieved through algorithms that  identify profitable products fully automatically  and also take over order management for these products. “Our target for 2024 is a 25 percent growth with a continued positive margin”, continues Weis.

                 SportFits at ISPO 2023 
   From the 28th to the 30th of November, many well-known sports and outdoor brands met at the international sports trade fair ISPO in Munich to present their highlights for the next winter season. Whether new products, collections or technologies - there was a lot on offer! We also had a look around for trends on site and gathered lots of great impressions.&amp;nbsp;   
 The ISPO Award winners 
 In addition to a colourful programme of events with various speakers and themed stages,  over 2,300 exhibitors  presented products from the areas of clothing, shoes, equipment, accessories and hardware. 
 We were particularly excited about this year&#039;s ISPO Award winners. They represent  the best innovation and design achievements  in the sports industry. Many of these outstanding products will of course also be available in our shop next year. To whet your appetite, we&#039;d like to introduce you to a few of them now. 
  {gallery number=&quot;11,12,9,10&quot; captions=[&quot;Haute Route multisport helmet by Mammut&quot;,&quot;Ultrasphere 4.5 sleeping mat by Rab&quot;,&quot; EXPDN 3L skiing outfit by Jack Wolfskin &quot;,&quot; Escape Down H2Flow Parka by Helly Hansen &quot;] css=&quot;grey&quot; gallery}  
 One helmet that definitely deserves special mention is the multifunctional  Mammut Haute Route ski touring helmet . This model is not only suitable for ski touring, but also perfect for mountaineering or cycling. Outdoor enthusiasts will also love the ultra-light and super-warm  Ultrasphere 4.5 sleeping mat from Rab . 
 To find out which ISPO Award winners are particularly interesting for ski fans, our colleagues from Skigebiete-Test have summarised the winners for you. They were also with us at ISPO and, as Germany&#039;s widest-reaching winter sports portal, they had a close look at the most interesting products for winter sports enthusiasts. 
   &amp;gt;&amp;gt; More about the award winners from the &quot;Snowsports&quot; category   
 Next year&#039;s trends 
 {img number=&quot;4&quot; align=&quot;right&quot; caption=ISPO Award winner: The North Face Summit Papsura Futurelight Jacket with 100% recycled nylon fabric&quot; img} 
 The ISPO Award winners are not the only ones to play an important role at this trade fair. In addition to new collections and innovative materials, one or two trends also often become apparent. 
 As in previous years, the focus is on  sustainability . To contribute to environmental protection, the majority of manufacturers are now working with sustainable and recycled materials. 
 One colour also caught our eye: in line with the motto &quot;Orange is the new Black&quot;, many new collections include beautiful shades of orange. 
   &amp;gt;&amp;gt; Fancy more orange on the slopes?   
  {gallery number=&quot;5,6,7,8&quot; captions=[&quot;Orange is also represented in the new Schöffel collection.&quot;,&quot;Outdoor expert Houdini goes for a bright orange.&quot;,&quot;A Picture ski suit in various shades of orange.&quot;,&quot;The Zeitgeist theme hub was really colourful and fancy.&quot;] css=&quot;grey&quot; gallery}  
 Looking forward to ISPO 2024 
 {img number=&quot;2&quot; align=&quot;left&quot; caption=&quot;High spirits at ISPO: Isa, Sina and Katrin from SportFits&quot; img} 
 As every year, our trip to ISPO Munich was great fun: strolling through the exhibition halls in search of particularly innovative products and creative exhibition stands, as well as chatting with our partners directly on site. 
 We are already looking forward to the next ISPO -  Outdoor by ISPO from the 3rd to the 5th of June 2024 , where the who&#039;s who of the outdoor industry will meet.&amp;nbsp;

                 OutDoor by ISPO 2023 – Alles im Zeichen von Nachhaltigkeit 
  Auch diesen Sommer kam die Outdoobranche auf der OutDoor by ISPO in München wieder zusammen, um sich über kommende Trends, Kollektionen und Must-haves zu informieren. Natürlich waren auch wir dabei und fassen die wichtigsten Highlights und Erkenntnisse für dich zusammen.  
 Nachhaltigkeit als neuer Standard 
 {img number=&quot;10&quot; align=&quot;left&quot; caption=&quot; Von Bikesport bis Wandern: Es gab viel zu entdecken&quot; img} 
 Thema dieses Jahr war  Zirkularität , was in den Hallen und Showrooms entsprechend bestaunt werden konnte. Egal ob recycelte Stoffe, natürliche Materialien, chemiefreie Behandlungen oder umweltfreundliche Produktionsprozesse – so gut wie alle Outdoor-Marken beweisen, dass Nachhaltigkeit längst  vom Trend zum Branchenstandard  geworden ist. 
 Wer die Natur liebt und gerne dort Zeit verbringt, möchte sie auch schützen. Aus diesem Grund ist das Bestreben Richtung immer mehr Nachhaltigkeit auf jeden Fall eine überaus positive Entwicklung. 
 Natürlich gab es aber auch über das Thema Kreislaufwirtschaft hinaus vieles zu entdecken. Sowohl&amp;nbsp; Newcomer als auch bekannte Marken &amp;nbsp;präsentierten Neuheiten für Radsport, Wandern, Camping, Trail Running und mehr. 
   &amp;gt;&amp;gt; Mehr über OutDoor by ISPO   
 &amp;nbsp; 
 &amp;nbsp; 
 {gallery number=&quot;14,18,5,15&quot; captions=[&quot;Marken wie J.Lindeberg waren das erste Mal dabei&quot;,&quot;Und natürlich durften Marken wie Dolomite nicht fehlen&quot;,&quot;Camping-Fans kamen voll auf ihre Kosten&quot;,&quot;Insgesamt gab es viel zu sehen und sogar zu probieren&quot;] css=&quot;grey&quot; gallery} 
 Nachhaltige Highlights 
 {img number=&quot;6&quot; align=&quot;right&quot; caption=&quot;Nordisk präsentierte ein komplett recycelbares Zelt.&quot; img} 
 Unter all den vorgestellten Produkten und Marken gibt es einige, die uns besonders begeistert haben. Zu unseren persönlichen Highlights zählt beispielsweise das  Asgard Eco &amp;nbsp;Zelt von  Nordisk . Das Modell besteht komplett aus recycelbaren Materialien und würde sich, falls einfach liegen gelassen, irgendwann zersetzen. Baumwolle, Bambus, Jute und sogar Muscheln kommen hier zum Einsatz und versprechen entspannten Luxus mitten in der Natur. 
 Aber nicht nur natürliche Materialien zeugen von Umweltfreundlichkeit. Genauso wichtig ist das  Reduzieren von chemischen Stoffen  in der Bekleidung. Hersteller wie beispielsweise  Houdini  oder die Münchner Sportmarke  MAUL  verzichten daher auf PFCs in ihrer Outdoorbekleidung. Und auch beim Thema  Insektenschutz  achtet MAUL auf hauptsächlich natürliche Inhaltsstoffe, die Insekten abschrecken, ihnen aber nicht schaden.&amp;nbsp; 
 An erster Stelle stehen aber eindeutig Recycling und Upcycling. Anstatt neue Rohstoffe zu verbrauchen, arbeiten die Marken mit  Ressourcen, die bereits vorhanden sind :&amp;nbsp;Plastikflaschen, Fischernetze, alte Stoffe oder auch Industriereste. Dabei ist immer wieder erstaunlich zu sehen, wie aus Müll komplett neue Outdoorbekleidung und Ausrüstung entsteht, die genauso robust und funktionell ist, wie nicht-recycelte Modelle. 
 Egal ob Klettergurte wie der neue Moe 3R von  Edelrid , Jacken von Vaude, die Earth Series Rucksäcke von  Osprey  oder Bekleidung von  Ternua  – wir freuen uns über alle nachhaltigen Produkte, dir wir dir künftig in unserem Shop bieten können, denn sie kommen sowohl dir als auch der Umwelt zugute.&amp;nbsp; 
   &amp;gt;&amp;gt; Mehr Infos über die Recycling-Projekte von Ternua   
 {gallery number=&quot;22,2,3,16&quot; captions=[&quot; Ternua achtet auch bei Farben auf natürliche Inhaltsstoffe&quot;,&quot; MAUL-Bekleidung: langlebig, PFC-frei und vielfältig nachhaltig&quot;,&quot;Bei Vaude wird Plastik zu hochwertigen Kollektionen&quot;,&quot;Der Moe 3R von Edelrid: komplett recycelt/upgecycelt&quot;] css=&quot;grey&quot; gallery} 
 Die ISPO Awards 
 {img number=&quot;4&quot; align=&quot;left&quot; caption=&quot;Der begehrte ISPO Award wird an besonders innovative Produkte in verschiedenen Kategorien verliehen&quot; img} 
 Auch dieses Jahr wurden wieder die Gewinner der ISPO Awards vorgestellt. Die Produkte aus Kategorien wie Trail Running, Wandern, Camping oder Bike sind auf verschiedenste Weise besonders innovativ. Ob neue Materialien oder clevere Customer Service Lösungen, die Vielfalt bei den ISPO Awards war auch dieses Jahr sehr beeindruckend. 
 Einige Marken wie Nordisk,  BACH  oder  adidas Terrex  konnten sich über gleich  mehrere Auszeichnungen  freuen. Besonders auffällig: Auch hier spielte das Thema Nachhaltigkeit eine entscheidende Rolle. So bestehen viele der Gewinner aus recycelten Materialien und versprechen dennoch höchste Funktionalität und Langlebigkeit. 
 Besonders gut hat uns die  Terrex Xperior Light Windweave Jacket  von adidas Terrex fürs Trail Running gefallen. Sie ist sehr leicht und sorgt dennoch für ausreichend Schutz dank Body-Mapping-Zonen. Zum ersten Mal ist es adidas Terrex gelungen, diese Qualitäten mit recycelten Garnen umzusetzen. 
 Ein weiterer Hingucker sind die  Carezza WP  Schuhe von  Dolomite . Vom Strick-Obermaterial über die Sohle bis hin zu Schnürsenkeln und zum wasserdichten Futter besteht das alltagstaugliche Modell komplett aus recycelten Materialien und ist dabei sehr komfortabel. 
 Zudem gehören auch die  Dr. Expedition Duffels  von BACH zu unseren Highlights.  Die Dr. Duffel Tasche konnten wir ja bereits testen  und finden auch diese Variante absolut empfehlenswert! 
 Auch die anderen Gewinner sind überaus faszinierend und wir freuen uns schon darauf, dir einige von ihnen in Zukunft im SportFits Shop präsentieren zu können! 
   &amp;gt;&amp;gt; Zu allen ISPO Award Gewinnern 2023   
 {gallery number=&quot;12,8,21,19&quot; captions=[&quot;Nordisk setzt beim Kundenservice auf kontaktlose Technologie.&quot;,&quot;Für Trail Runner: Die adidas Terrex Xperior Light Windweave Jacket&quot;,&quot;Die Duffels von BACH lassen sich besonders leicht öffnen und packen&quot;,&quot;Insgesamt wurden Preise in 8 Kategorien verliehen.&quot;] css=&quot;grey&quot; gallery}

                 Groundbreaking ceremony for the new SportFits headquarters 
  Our shop grows steadily from year to year. More and more brands and products are added to offer you the best possible selection of outdoor and winter sports articles. For this reason, we are building a new company headquarters with sufficient space and a modern auto-store warehouse. The groundbreaking ceremony at the beginning of February marks the official start of the construction phase.  
 More room for products 
 {img number=&quot;2&quot; align=&quot;left&quot; caption=&quot;A preview of the new building.&quot; img} 
 Since its foundation in 2017, the SportFits warehouse has already been expanded twice through relocations. Now, we need even more space, because we currently stock around  200 brands with over 100,000 items  and send out around  40,000 parcels a month . A big difference from the two to five parcels per day with which everything started in the small office. And we continue to grow! Both in the product range and in staff! 
 &amp;nbsp; 
 &amp;nbsp; 
 To create more space for growth, plans were made to build a central location. The new building, which is being built in the municipality of Salzweg north of Passau, combines all the competences of warehouse, logistics, support, procurement and marketing in one place for even more efficient cooperation.&amp;nbsp; 
 In an earlier article, we already told you which highlights and technologies are planned. 
   &amp;gt;&amp;gt;&amp;nbsp;Read about the innovations of the new SportFits headquarters   
 Celebration with supporters, partners and employees 
 {img number=&quot;3&quot; align=&quot;right&quot; caption=&quot;The groundbreaking ceremony was celebrated with partners, guests and employees.&quot; img} 
 The groundbreaking ceremony for the official start of construction took place at the beginning of February and was attended by both guests and employees. In addition to the management, partners such as the  Goldbeck  company from Regensburg, which has been supporting the project since the earliest planning phase, as well as representatives of the  Raiffeisenbank Am Goldenen Steig eG , which supports us in the area of financing, were also present. The  mayor of the municipality of Salzweg , Josef Putz, and a  member of the management of the municipality of Salzweg , Alexander Herberger, were also present. 
 The groundbreaking ceremony took place under a bright winter sky and was celebrated with mulled wine and snacks. The next celebration is expected to follow in summer 2023 when the building will be completed. 
 This milestone is the result of thorough planning, a lot of heart and soul and courageous business decisions. Managing Director Florian Weis said: 
 {quote author=&quot;Florian Weis&quot; text=&quot;The planning phase was really a turbulent time. Funding freezes, cost increases and energy crises came our way. But now we are here and the ground-breaking ceremony is the signal that things are really getting started.&quot; quote} 
 We are already very excited about the new headquarters and look forward to sharing the first impressions of the new SportFits home in our magazine and on social media.

                 Houdini: Clothing without chemicals 
  If you&#039;re interested in functional, high-quality and especially sustainable clothing, you can&#039;t go past the Swedish outdoor brand Houdini. It is very committed to environmentally conscious production and tries to motivate people to keep their ecological footprint as small as possible through various campaigns. Especially with their PFAS-free shell clothing, Houdini sets an example and thus contributes enormously to the protection of the environment. We explain what makes these clothes so special!  
 100 percent PFAS-free clothing 
  {img number=&quot;7&quot; align=&quot;left&quot; caption=&quot;Clean performance: that&#039;s what Houdini stands for&quot; img}&amp;nbsp;What some people probably don&#039;t know: Many waterproof garments pose a danger to us and our environment. This is because mackintoshes, for example, are often treated with PFAS for better water and dirt repellency.&amp;nbsp;  
 But what does PFAS actually mean? 
 PFAS are  poly- and perfluoroalkyl substances  - chemicals that do not occur naturally in the environment. Thus, they cannot be degraded naturally, are carcinogenic and also have negative effects on the immune and reproductive systems of humans and animals. 
  The special thing about Houdini shells:  they are made with sustainable technology and are therefore completely PFAS-free. 
   &amp;gt;&amp;gt; Discover the Houdini rollercoaster collection   
 {gallery number=&quot;3,5,6,2&quot; captions=[&quot;Extremely sustainable&quot;,&quot;Happy with clean clothing&quot;,&quot;Cool style with Houdini&quot;,&quot;Functional and practical&quot;] css=&quot;grey&quot; gallery} 
 Houdini&#039;s clean alternative 
 The Swedish sports company Houdini has been deeply connected to nature since its foundation. Not least for this reason,  circular functional materials  are used to manufacture all Houdini shells, which are never treated with harmful PFAS or other toxic chemicals.&amp;nbsp; 
 &amp;nbsp;As early as 2012,  Houdini  started the process of eliminating PFAS from all collections. Since 2018, the hazardous chemicals are no longer used at all. Instead, Houdini presents  Atmos, a PFAS-free membrane , as well as a bio-based water-repellent coating from Organotex, which is also free of PFAS.&amp;nbsp; 
 {video src=&quot;3CpqhxYq274&quot; title=&quot;Shell Layers For The Future&quot; caption=&quot;Watch the video to find out how Houdini managed to develop a shell layer for the future with Atmos.&quot; css=&quot;grey&quot; video} 
 Another advantage of Houdini clothing: Only fully recycled and recyclable fabrics are used in production to prevent additional textile waste. By developing  particularly durable  clothing, Houdini tries to counteract &quot;fast fashion&quot;, i.e. the unnecessary waste of clothing.&amp;nbsp; 
 {imagewithproducts number=&quot;4&quot; headline=&quot;Ride clean with the Sleepwalker unisex insulated skirt&quot; showsupplier=&quot;0&quot; showprices=&quot;1&quot; showuvp=&quot;1&quot; products=[&quot;642-101074&quot;,&quot;642-101074&quot;] colors=[&quot;A82&quot;,&quot;198&quot;] imagewithproducts} 
 Of course, Houdini is in the higher price segment with its high-quality clothing. However, the equipment has  many positive aspects . The cool style, functional properties and especially the contribution to protecting the environment speak for Houdini. Besides, it&#039;s a wonderful feeling when you&#039;re out and about in pristine powder snow with absolutely clean clothing, for example.&amp;nbsp; 
   &amp;gt;&amp;gt;&amp;nbsp;More Ski and Winterwear from Houdini

                  The company MDV Marker Dalbello Völkl invited to an event at their Dalbello factory in Asolo Italy. In a factory tour we retailers could see how the ski boots are manufactured and adjusted for professionals. Workshops introduced the new collection to us and explained new technologies. Besides the company insight we enjoyed the Italian cuisine and got cultural impressions of the region.  
 &amp;nbsp; 
   {video src=&quot;0PYNaHfGqsI&quot; title=&quot;The Dalbello Factory&quot; caption=&quot;Learn more about the origin of your ski boots&quot; css=&quot;grey&quot;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;video}    
 Potential projects 
 After a long journey from Passau to Asolo, we were already expected at the Hotel Asolo and welcomed by the other Dalbello staff. Montebelluna is known for its large ski boot industry or shoes in general.&amp;nbsp;The next day we went to the Dalbello factory, where we were first shown the new  collection for Winter 23 , including the Reboot series for kids, which will be released this winter for the first time. 
 {img number=&quot;2&quot; align=&quot;left&quot; caption=&quot;The shrunken plastic for reproduction&quot; img}Dalbello is a partner of the  LIFE RESKIBOOT project  and, together with other European partners, plans to increase production to 90 percent recycled raw materials and reduce plastic waste.The material for children&#039;s shoes is taken from production surplus material and from old ski boots. Old boots are collected from ski boot rentals or other projects where worn-out boots can be dropped off. In the grinding machine the remains are ground and can be used immediately. As many dark shoes are produced, especially in the adult sector, and the granules extracted can no longer be separated, this collection remains black. Unfortunately, currently the material is not yet sufficient to also produce the adult shoes completely from recycled materials. 
 Overall, the European production is more sustainable than the Asian production because European social standards for employees are not only much higher, but the compliance is also more controlled. In addition, short distances in the sourcing of materials and the products after production significantly reduce emissions of CO2. 
 Innovative technologies 
 In addition, we were shown the new technologies that are already introduced in the current season. For example, the Bi-injected Shell in the Veloce, where the harder plastic guarantees better power transmission. Moreover, a better wearing comfort is supposed to be created by the new Autofit technology. The tongue is made of a special memory foam that minimizes pressure by fitting perfectly to the tibia. 
 With the Contour 5, a proven technology has been further developed and offers even more fit. Many models are now pre-shaped at five special points so that the shoe adapts to the anatomical contours of the foot and offers more space at critical points. Especially in the ski touring area, it often came to problems, because here a lot of frictions arise due to a lot of movement. The new Quantum Evo now offers not only a good fit, but also the necessary stability for the descent. Furthermore, it is extremely light at 1000 grams. 
 Insights into the production 
 {img number=&quot;3&quot; align=&quot;right&quot; caption=&quot;The different shapes for the shells&quot; img}But the most exciting part was the production itself. Only when you see how many steps are necessary for just one article, you understand how it comes to these prices. In fact, it&#039;s quite surprising how a product doesn&#039;t have to be more expensive if it has to go through all these stations until it ends up ready for customers at our retailers. 
 Together with the factory in Bulgaria, where the liners for the ski boots are produced, Dalbello&#039;s production alone employs over 350 people. The machines run 24 hours from Monday morning to Saturday evening. Only the buckles are produced externally, otherwise everything is made in the own factory. 
 {img number=&quot;6&quot; align=&quot;left&quot; caption=&quot;Our star Christian in the boat fitting&quot; img}In the  Boot fitting,  the racing shoes of the pro athletes are specially adapted. They also  provide important input  for the development processes. The feedback from the experts helps the product developers improve the performance of the shoes. 
 While athletes are all about performance, the focus for the regular consumer is on  comfort and fit . Therefore, Dalbello places particular emphasis here on constant further development. For an example, shoes for women are designed differently than those for men. In addition to different fits, the buckles on women&#039;s models are also made for easier handling. 
 Culture and sightseeing 
 {img number=&quot;5&quot; align=&quot;right&quot; caption=&quot;Villa di Maser&quot; img}In the afternoon we visited the  UNESCO World Heritage Site Villa di Maser.  Two Venetian brothers hired the architect Andrea Palladio to build the villa around 1550. The building was constructed on a hill to overlook the surrounding land and was constructed with the lateral wings destined for agricultural use. The glorious halls in the main house show  paintings on the walls and ceilings , representing not only gods but also the former life of the residents. In our guided tour we were also allowed to visit the impressive  carriage collection , where about 30 vehicles from the 19th and 20th centuries are located. 
 Before having another delicious meal, we had the opportunity to take a little walk in the  charming old town of Asolo , from where we could enjoy a great sunset.

                 We are moving! 
  SportFits has grown rapidly over the last few years. That&#039;s why we are taking the next step and building a new company headquarters with a larger warehouse including an AutoStore solution, modern office space and a digitally equipped showroom. The relocation to our new building in Salzweg near Passau is planned for the summer of 2023. We reveal what it will look like and what the new headquarters will mean for you.  
 New company headquarters for SportFits 
 {img number=&quot;3&quot; align=&quot;right&quot; caption=&quot;We ship more than 35,000 packages a month.&quot; img}With our online store SportFits, we are now one of Germany&#039;s largest e-commerce companies in the sports retail sector. Customers can find a selection of  over 100,000 different products from about 150 strong brands . From our logistics center in Passau, more than 35,000 parcels are shipped to many European countries every month. 
  &amp;gt;&amp;gt; Discover our brands!  
 Although the crises of the last few years have presented us with new challenges, SportFits has nevertheless  developed enormously . So much so, in fact, that our current location at Mollnhof in Passau has reached its limits. To ensure that we can continue to meet the increasing demands on shipping efficiency and product selection, we are building a  new company headquarters . This will be located in Salzweg in the district of Passau and thus continue to be in the immediate vicinity of the city. 
 The new SportFits building will include offices, a digitally equipped showroom and a large warehouse with AutoStore, an automated storage system for small parts. We are investing more than five million euros in the new building.&amp;nbsp; 
 For both our CEOs, Florian Weis and Martin Bauer, the new building is a  milestone in the company&#039;s history . 
 {quote author=&quot;Florian Weis (CEO)&quot; text=&quot;We want to offer our customers the best possible service and a special shopping experience. But also the cornerstone of our company, our employees should feel comfortable at the new location and move our company forward with joy and passion.&quot; quote} 
 {gallery number=&quot;2,5,4,7&quot; captions=[&quot;This is what the new company headquarters will look like.&quot;,&quot;Delivery area at the new location&quot;,&quot;Modern offices and a large showroom&quot;,&quot; The robotic AutoStore system&quot;] css=&quot;grey&quot; gallery} 
 Robotic shipping logistics 
 Element Logic&#039;s AutoStore system will be the centerpiece of our new warehouse. The  fully automated storage and retrieval system  will support our warehouse staff and enable us to process orders more efficiently. As a result, we can speed up shipping and send out significantly more packages per day. In addition, the AutoStore reduces the space required for product storage. 
 For our customers, this means: a  larger product selection and shorter shipping times!  
 Sustainable and energy-efficient 
 {img number=&quot;6&quot; align=&quot;right&quot; caption=&quot;A PV system and e-charging stations are planned.&quot; img} 
 For us, efficiency not only plays a role in work processes, but also in energy supply. That is why we pay attention to sustainability when planning our new company building. The entire building will be constructed according to the BEG standard of efficiency house class 40, which is exceptionally energy-efficient for a commercial building. In addition, a large photovoltaic system on the roof and a heat pump will ensure an energy supply independent of gas. Parking spaces with charging points for e-cars are provided for our employees and guests. 
  &amp;gt;&amp;gt; More on the topic of sustainability at SportFits  
 Construction is scheduled to start in the fall of 2022, so we can move into our new home next summer. We will keep you updated ;)

                 Salewa Committed 
  Salewa has been offering durable and high-quality mountain sports products for more than 70 years. It is very important to the Italian outdoor brand to leave an ecological footprint  as small&amp;nbsp; as possible. In order to clearly identify particularly sustainable products for customers when making purchasing decisions, the Salewa Committed label was introduced with the spring-summer 2022 collection.&amp;nbsp;Find out which products are allowed to carry this label.  
 Label for social and environmental responsibility 
 The development of socially and environmentally responsible products has always been very important to Salewa. The &quot;Salewa Committed&quot; symbol is intended to help customers recognise the true value of a product at a glance. A special in-house scheme has been developed to classify the products. 
 {quote author=&quot;Salewa&quot; text=&quot;A Salewa product is only marked with a Committed symbol if it meets both mandatory criteria and at least one additional criterion.&quot; quote} 
   &amp;gt;&amp;gt; Discover the Salewa collection   
 Committed criteria 
 {img number=&quot;5&quot; align=&quot;right&quot; caption=&quot; &quot; img}To label a product with the new Salewa Committed label, there are two criteria that must be met in every case: 
 All products are subjected to a  chemical test . This is done in accordance with the Oberalp Chemical Guideline, an internal document establishing a formal procedure that prohibits or at least limits the use of hazardous substances in Salewa products and production processes. The tests are carried out either in cooperation with external laboratories or through the certifications of independent third parties, such as  bluesign® . 
 In addition, the  control of social standards  and working conditions in the production sites is mandatory. Both the company&#039;s own offices and the production sites of suppliers are audited. The external audit is always valid for three years. The fact that this topic is taken particularly seriously by Salewa is shown by their leader status with the  Fair Wear Foundation . 
 {gallery number=&quot;3,4,2&quot; captions=[&quot;Fair working conditions&quot;,&quot;Ban on mulesing&quot;,&quot;Use of natural materials&quot;] css=&quot;grey&quot; gallery} 
 Additional criteria 
 In addition to the two mandatory criteria, at least  one of the following points  must be met. 
  PFC-free:  Salewa has set itself the goal of eliminating the use of environmentally harmful perfluorinated and polyfluorinated chemicals, or  PFCs , in the manufacturing process. This criterion only applies to models with a durable water repellency (DWR) finish. 
  Upcycling &amp;amp; Recycling: &amp;nbsp;This criterion applies if at least 50 percent of a product&#039;s weight is made from upcycled or recycled materials.&amp;nbsp;This means that waste materials or by-products are converted into a new material / product or, for example, recycled polyester is used in the manufacturing process. 
  Down from responsible farming:  One of the most important Salewa Committed criteria is that all down contained in a product is certified according to the  Responsible Down Standard . This ensures that any animal welfare standards are met in the extraction of the down. 
  Natural / renewable materials:  This means that at least 50 percent of the product is made from one or a combination of the following materials: viscose, wool - TirolWool® or certified wool without mulesing, Tencel®, linen, hemp or cotton. 
 Salewa products that carry the Committed label can therefore be purchased with a clear conscience.
