" I always looked to Spartoo as one of the best examples of what can be achieved by a young and dynamic company, it is with great pride that I am now a part of this success ", comments Pablo Barclay, CEO of Rubbersole.

" Spartoo has purchased its English competitor, Rubbersole.co.uk, to gain more market shares. International development has strongly increased the group's growth in 2011. I'm proud to have built a European company ! ", says Boris Saragaglia, CEO of Spartoo.

Each foreign website is translated into the native language and uses local logistics. Wherever he or she is ordering from, the internet user should feel right at home. Furthermore, customer care is available in the local language, as Spartoo's main concern that the customer has an excellent experience and leaves satisfied is paramount.

The group is also confident that it will achieve a turn-over of 100 million of Euros in 2011, in contrast with 60 million of Euros in 2010.
