“Our very active operations include creation of innovative materials and their subsequent presentation to new markets. For example, we recently created a material containing carbon fibre that protects the person from the possible dangers of electrostatic discharge – this material will be heading to Austria. The products made of wool as well as woollen materials and manufactured silk, as well as Merino wool products containing higher microns are all a part of a new and growing market segment of “Utenos trikota?as”, allowing to ensure a higher profitability of operations. Our own ABOUT brand is also being successfully developed further. The first ABOUT shop in Vilnius which opened last November, together with the already working website http://www.aboutwear.com allowed to increase the sales of this trademark by 76 % in comparison with the Q4 of 2013, and by 60 % when compared to last year“, Gintautas Bareika, the Chief Executive Officer of the company, said.
