Garmont returns to Canada

23/11/2016
Italian outdoor footwear brand Garmont is to re-enter the Canadian market, less than two years after announcing a similar venture into the US.

It has appointed Stephen Bergeron to lead its Canadian efforts as general manager, where his initial focus will be on building a team of sales representatives and supporting retailers for Garmont’s Autumn 2016 and Spring 2017 product lines.

“After a successful first full year delivering footwear in the United States, we see great opportunity in the Canadian market,” said Bill Dodge, CEO of Garmont North America. “The Garmont brand already has a strong reputation in Canada. Our quality product is ideal for Canadian outdoor adventurers and we are seeing positive feedback from key retail partners.”
