CCC, one of the largest footwear producers in Europe, presented another set of strong results. Reinforcing its solid position in Central Europe, the company, which combines production and commercial activities, confirmed limited impact of the currency fluctuations in its results, as most purchases are done in euros resulting in minor exposure to the US dollar / Euro variations.

The structure of sales by country shows that Poland concentrated 66.4% of total revenue generated during the first quarter of 2015. Czech Republic (8.8%), Hungary (6.1%), Slovakia (5.0%) and Germany (4.2%) followed. A structure quite in line with similar period in 2014, although growth in Austria (from 1.5% share in quarter one in 2014) and Germany (from 0.9% in quarter one in 2014) can be highlighted.
