The garment maker Bastion, which has mainly operated in Estonia so far, is planning to increase turnover to 10 million euros in the next three years and to expand to foreign markets, the daily Postimees reported.
The turnover of the company has so far remained within a few million euros – it was 1.5 million euros in 2010 and 1.55 million euros in 2009.
CEO of Bastion Gert Stahl told the paper that the company could not hope for any more growth in Estonia. Next year the plan is to go to break into the British market. “We hope to establish an integrated retail and e-trade unit that should support each other,” he said.
After the British business has been geared, the company is planning expansion to Germany, the Netherlands, Denmark, and Belgium.
In order to grow turnover and profit, the company is planning to come out with a new trade mark, Beself. New designers and marketing people who have contributed to the creation of the trade mark have come to the company.
