Active on the Romanian market since 1999, the company has also focused on production. Its products are available for clients in its own store network. Curently, the company’s factory has 23 employees, but both the production and its team and long-term strategy are growing continuously.
Il Passo’s own production business started in Romania tripled in 2014 against the previous year, and rose 30% in 2015.
Il Passo managing partner, Petru Chiriac, aged 43, launched the footwear brand Il Passo in 1999, which has reached a total 15 stores and generates sales of EUR7.5 million.
Currently, Il Passo brand is operated by the company Pestos, which directly controls all stores, but entrepreneur Petru Chiriac, who spent almost half of his life in the shoe industry, plans to expand the business in franchise system.
