Hockerty expects to reach $20 million in sales by end of year

Zurich, Switzerland – Made to measure specialists Hockerty & Sumissura have announced that they are expecting to reach $20 million in sales by the end of 2021. After global difficult situations as a result of the covid19 pandemic, Hockerty’s prospects are getting ever brighter, even more so since according to the company’s co-founder, Alberto Gil, the company saw a 70% growth 21 vs 19, despite the pandemic.

The rise in sales shouldn’t come as a surprise to anyone, especially since Hockerty & Sumissura have launched new products and services including custom-made shoes for both men and women as well as custom made jeans for men. The company also plans to roll out custom made jeans for women in the coming months. Furthermore, they’ve also acquired in a highly innovative Spanish company named ‘Bullfeet’ – a company that offers custom made sneakers made using vegan leather, which should come as welcome news for their digital customer base.

In an age where the future of fashion is undoubtedly digital, there’s only one thing on Hockerty’s horizon, and that thing is expansion. Already selling their products worldwide, the company expects to continue developing their presence in new markets, including emerging ones. Hockerty has grown significantly since it was founded thirteen years ago in 2008, expanding throughout Europe and the United States, which is its current main market by turnover, along with Germany, France, UK and Australia. 

Hockerty’s co-founder Alberto Gil also stated that: “Our products are produced on demand, meaning that there is a true zero waste mindset in our production methods. By definition, this makes our company a truly sustainable one.” According to Gil, the company's partners have experience in the technology sector, which allowed them to break into this business model from the very beginning.
