Mark Langer, Chief Executive Officer

“2019 was an eventful year for HUGO BOSS. Importantly, we have made further progress in implementing our strategy. We strengthened our personalized offerings, significantly expanded our online business and increased retail sales productivity in our stores. After a very good start to 2020, our business in Asia is currently being significantly impacted by the spread of the coronavirus. Nevertheless, we are firmly convinced of the great potential of our BOSS and HUGO brands in this key region.”
