Deckers Brands plans to change its distribution from an indirect to a direct mode in Switzerland in the course of the next 12 months. Previously, a local distributor covered the Swiss market, but it has been handled by a sales agent since June. Within the next 12 months, the company will set up Deckers Switzerland, a 100 percent subsidiary of the American group, to take care of sales in Switzerland and Lichtenstein for Ugg and other brands. A German subsidiary was created two years ago, covering Central and Eastern Europe. In Southern Europe, the group is still working with local distributors. The plan is to integrate them gradually into the group.
