New arrangements in place for Bata Pakistan

18/04/2019
Footwear manufacturer Bata Pakistan has reached an agreement with its parent company that gives it the right to continue making and selling shoes under the Bata name until 2028.

Under the new agreement, Bata Pakistan will pay 5% of net turnover to the parent group, an increase from the 2% it has paid previously. However, the new arrangement will give it exclusive use of the Bata name in the local market.

Bata Pakistan grew turnover by 8% in 2018 to almost $120 million, but net profit declined slightly compared to the previous year, reaching $10.6 million.
