Jack Wolfskin forges ahead with US expansion

A year after the acquisition by Golf equipment supplier Callaway, outdoor brand Jack Wolfskin continues its expansion abroad. The German company will "finally invest seriously and sustainably in North America and also in Japan," said CEO Melody Harris-Jensbach when talking to German business weekly "Wirtschaftswoche". Accordingly, the company opened its North American headquarters in Park City in the US state of Utah and has appointed a country head. In Japan, Jack Wolfskin is taking the distribution for a partner into its own hands, said Harris-Jensbach.
