As 2019 draws to a close, Ullman Sails is celebrating yet another successful year in the sailing industry. After the 2018 acquisition of its largest sail loft in Cape Town, this was another year of growth for the international brand.
With over 75 locations in 25 countries around the world, 2019 saw Ullman Sails welcome seven new affiliates, expanding its reach deeper into Australia, Asia, North America and Europe.
This has resulted in a 21.5% increase in turnover, with a resultant significant improvement of operating profit caused by massive operational efficiencies. This has allowed the manufacturing facility to regulate production by investing heavily in professional production processes, product placement and development.
This has occurred alongside the launch of two new Ullman divisions - namely Ullman Gear and Ullman Kiteboarding. Ullman Gear is a pioneering initiative creating practical products, such as bags and foul weather gear, from upcycled materials, while Ullman Kiteboarding is a licensed business that brings new technology to the world of kiteboarding with their wings and kite range.
