Erima announced an increase in its total sales of 19 percent to €14 million in the first quarter of this year. As compared to the first quarter of 2015, sales in the German team sport specialist's domestic market grew by 27 percent. Strong increases were also recorded in Austria and France as well as in other export markets. One of the growth drivers was the strong market penetration achieved by the new Erima Hybrid Training football, a product family that has been widened with the addition of seven new ball models at the beginning of this year.
