2021 We are uniting all our products under a new international brand, Vilgain, with which we plan to expand globally. Soon after launching the online store, we realized that the products resold on the market would probably never reach the quality we wanted to offer people, and to achieve this, we had to do it ourselves.
Vilgain’s mission is to create an environment where purposeful people can buy truly high-quality, tailor-made products that help them achieve their dreams, not hinder them.
It’s not enough that the market is full of sports fashion, by the way, we all wear it at the company, various developments come to mind, that’s how Kristina Isikli came to the company, who takes over the entire Vilgain athleisure fashion department and starts the development of Vilgain clothing with her own designs, which is manufactured in Turkey. We are working with more and more countries, from Portugal, through China, to Vietnam.
We are moving out of Brno and opening a new office in Karlín, Prague, at the end of the summer. We work both remotely and in hybrid mode. All our teams are expanding, and we are experiencing a 47% increase in staff.
2022 After 7 years, we are moving to new, modern premises in CTPark Brno Líšeň. This move provides us with a unique opportunity to have our production and warehouse departments in one place, as well as office space for part of our team. The development team, led by Kubo Horký, is developing an in-house warehouse management application with a semi-automatic conveyor belt, which will make many processes much more efficient, along with faster and less expensive delivery of shipments.
We will celebrate our 10th anniversary in retrospect, officially take over our new premises, evaluate our journey so far. We will also merge our manufacturing plants, and then offer all our products under the Vilgain brand.
We have established our own R&D center at our new location in Brno Líšná, which provides us with space to develop new products. The direct connection of the development center and production allows us to quickly launch our own cookie products on the market.
