Shoes of the German brand "Romika", known to Soviet buyers in the 80s of the last century, have been made in Pridnestrovie for more than 10 years. And since last year the domestic shoe factories "Tigina" and "Floare" received an exclusive license to develop and produce new models of the popular brand, as well as the right to sell branded products in the CIS countries. The general manager of the Romika CIS project, the director of the Floare shoe factory, Mark Finkelson, said that the trust of the European company was achieved thanks to the quality of the finished product provided by the Pridnestrovian shoemakers.
Romika shoes made in Pridnestrovie can now be bought in more than 700 stores located in the cities of Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, Kazakhstan. According to Mark Finkelson, there is a new spring-summer collection 2018 in production now, which already in February will appear on Russian counters. The shoemakers emphasize that the measures of support rendered by the state helped to make the products competitive in foreign markets.
2017, announced as the Year of the Entrepreneur, gave rise to positive decisions and established a dialogue between business and government. The tax burden was reduced almost to all branches of industrial production, including for light industry enterprises. This allowed to increase the volume of exports, and therefore, to increase revenues to the budget. The head of the parliamentary committee for economic policy, budget and finance Alexander Korshunov expressed confidence: the course on support and development of entrepreneurship will be continued.
There is a shortage of workers in the Pridnestrovian shoe factories today, new jobs have appeared. The plans of enterprises are to increase production, expand export of products and win the international market. The wear-resistant and practical "Romika" made in Pridnestrovie can also be bought by our people, at the company store, which was opened in the capital.
The company "Romika" was founded in 1921 by three German businessmen, that is why it was named after the first two letters of the surnames of each of them. After almost one hundred years, the brand "Romika" is one of the most popular in the world. The production of brand shoes was located in Germany, Romania, Hungary, but never in the post-Soviet space. Since last year the Pridnestrovian "Tigina" and "Floare" are the official representative of the brand in the CIS countries.
