Rogaska Launches Crystalware Line at Macy's


Trump said in October, when the cooperation was presented to the media, that his wife Melania, who comes from Slovenia, loved the products and that he did not have much choice in this respect. He added that the line of crystal products was bound to reach "fantastic success".

 

 

Rogaska USA boss Bostjan Leskovar told the STA yesterday that the initial sales figures at Macy's were a pleasant surprise. Internet sales were especially good, accounting for some 40% of revenues, according to the Rogaska USA boss.

He said the company had been present on the US market for over 50 years. "Surveys show that every fifth crystal item of the highest price range sold in the US is ours. In the past years we have been working on boosting the sales of our own brand."

 

 

"We have wanted to get into Macy's and by teaming up with Trump were able to do that faster and in a larger scope," said Leskovar. Other items produced by Rogaska glassworks are already on sale at Macy's but not under its own brand.

 

Rogaska CEO Davor Senija, who was present at the official launch of the sale, told the STA that the glassworks sold some 44% of its products in the US. The company's total revenues amount to some EUR 37m.

Rogaska's products are on sale at 20 of the biggest Macy's departments stores across the US, according to Leskovar, who said the goal was to get into at least 200 stores.

Recently, Rogaska also teamed up with Kathy Ireland, a lifestyle designer, to produce a crystal stemware and barware collection.
