Woolrich – founded in 1830 in Pennsylvania by John Rich and known for its high and durable quality and timeless design – will have its footwear line represented in the Benelux by Gruppo Adanti BV starting from the upcoming season. For Marcel Koppen, owner of Gruppo Adanti, this is a special collaboration: “As the fourth generation in the footwear industry, it is an honor to work with a brand that has been active for 195 years.”
According to Koppen, both companies strongly focus on sustainability, quality, and design: “These have a high priority at both firms.” The men’s and women’s footwear line of Woolrich Footwear is, in his opinion, a great addition to Gruppo Adanti’s brand portfolio, which includes Giorgio 1958, Officine Napoli, Evaluna, and Lorenzo-Mari.
“We look forward to further expanding the success of Woolrich Footwear and thank Enrico Paniccia and his team for their trust in our organization,” Koppen said.
