Formed from clothing enterprise BAWI, founded in Wilhelmshaven in 1948, PEINE has been a firm component of the German men's clothing market for more than 50 years. With the two brands Barutti and Masterhand, the owner-led traditional enterprise is offering men's outfits both for spare time and for the workplace, as well as for weddings and festive events. PEINE GmbH thus serves both a volume market and a promising niche with only few competitors as well as large international growth potential. At an export rate of 50 percent, the enterprise sells its products worldwide in about 40 countries to almost 1,500 customers, including fashion retailers such as Peek & Cloppenburg, Hirmer, Breuninger or Leffers. In fiscal 2012, PEINE GmbH with 89 employees generated revenue of EUR 23,678,000.
