PORTLAND, OR (August 6, 2014)—Nikita announced today that they are
taking on direct distribution in Canada in order to get closer to
retailers in this key market for the brand.
“With great support from all parties, we have set up a new
organization, said VP Frank Aeschbacher.
“We are proud to announce that
Nikita Clothing has retained the existing sales force. As the Canadian
market has been traditionally strong for Nikita, we contracted a
well-experienced Canadian Sales Manager, Chris Nicholls, to lead the
team, to ensure that the Canadian market needs are respected, and to
develop a long-term distribution strategy.”
The reps for Canada will remain the same:
Chris Nicholls - National Sales Manager, Based in Whistler
Heather Foxcroft - Nikita Agent - Western Canada, Based in Calgary
Jon Genier - Nikita Agent – Quebec & East, Based in Montreal
Julie Demers-Payette - Sub Nikita Agent for Jon Genier, Based in Montreal
Endorphin’s Devon Cruickshank commented, “We have been proud to
represent the Nikita brand to the Canadian market for over 10 years and
thank all our great retailers for their support. In this next phase the
Amer group will take the brand to new heights.” Endorphin will continue
to support Fall 14 deliveries and will then make way for a direct
relationship between Nikita via parent company Amer Sports and the
Canadian retailer.
Aeschbacher added, “I’d like to thank Endorphin for their long-term
partnership. Endorphin has demonstrated what a great distributor
partnership is able to accomplish. With their dedication,
professionalism, retail partnerships and marketing investment, Endorphin
developed the Canadian market into a key market for Nikita. I am
looking forward to continuing to expand these retail partnerships under
the new structure, and to continue to build the success story.”
Nikita Clothing was born with a few handmade items
based out of Iceland in the 1990s, and today has become one of the most
popular brands for active girls worldwide. Collections in street,
outerwear, and snowboard hardgoods provide a contrast of design, style,
and functionality. Fit for purpose and made to resonate with similarly
motived, spirited, creative, and entrepreneurial women worldwide.
