Munich trata de resolver el expediente X de sus zapatillas: de acelerar la apertura de tiendas a aplicar recortes

The Spanish sports apparel company Munich is tackling issue X of its shoe portfolio, aiming to expedite store openings and implement cost cuts. The company, founded in Sant Boi de Llobregat and now based in Capellades, Barcelona, is a family-run enterprise in its third generation. Despite having experienced both prosperous and challenging times, Munich is currently navigating a particularly difficult period.

Struggling with losses in its network of retail locations, the company decided to close a portion of its stores this summer, negotiated a restructuring of employment (ERE) agreement with unions that affected 45 employees, and successfully refinanced its debt. The company hopes that these measures will help it avoid the "Perfect Storm" that, according to industry voices, is affecting the Spanish shoe industry.
