Triumph
International www.triumph.com
The story of Triumph International dates back well over a century and
its history parallels developments in the world of fashion. Founded in
Germany in 1886 by the Spiesshofer and Braun families, who still manage
the business today, the company grew from small beginnings to Europe’s
largest lingerie manufacturer and a leading garment maker throughout the
world. Production began in a barn in Heubach, Germany, with just 2000
Goldmarks and six employees. Today the company has a turnover of 1.6 billion
US-$ and a workforce approaching 37,000. In 1886 the founders declared
their dedication to innovation, a philosophy that remains the same to
this day and in 1902 'Triumph' was officially registered as their trademark.
Soon the company had independent subsidiaries for swimwear, daywear and
nightwear and new technological developments such as moulding and high
frequency welding, used instead of traditional stitching, were revolutionising
looks and possibilities for Triumph designers. On a global scale, Triumph
International is represented in almost every country in the world and
the company produces and markets foundation garments, lingerie and nightwear,
swimwear and beachwear, sportswear and leisurewear. Triumph International
attributes its success as a worldwide active manufacturer to its strong
brands: Triumph, Sloggi, Bee Dees, Valisere and HOM.
