This is the highest revenue for the company since its arrival in Romania in 2002.

“The number of customers buying something via teleshopping has dropped slightly in the past few years, but that has to do with the way people shop,” Zoltan Pilecki, managing director Studio Moderna Romania, told ZF.

The decline is fully offset by the rise in the number of customers, of the number of orders and of the value of the orders placed online or in brick and mortar stores, he added.

Studio Moderna is a multinational company established in Slovenia in 1992, which has developed globally over the years.

Its most popular products are the Dormeo mattresses, the Delimano cookware, the Walkmaxx footwear. Production is outsourced to companies in Italy, Spain, Poland and China.

The company is currently employing about 8,000 people throughout the world, 710 of which in Romania, Finance Ministry data show.(EUR1=RON4.6586)
