Germany , Robert Natter leaves Garant Schuh and Mode

After ten years at the top of buying-group Garant Schuh + Mode and its successor company ANWR Garant International, Robert Natter has decided to leave the firm and the shoe industry.

In these functions he also supervised the sporting goods buying group Fair Play International which is particulary strong in the Benelux countries.

At the helm of Garant, he led the group through its bankruptcy procedures which lasted from 2004 through 2007.

He was also one of the managers behind the merger between Garant and ANWR, the other big German shoe buying group which holds the license for Sport 2000 in Germany, Switzerland and the Netherlands.

As managing director of ANWR Garant International, he basically oversaw the development of the international business. In this function he has now been replaced, effective April 1, by Heike Discher and Matthias Grevener, who also acts as ANWR’s member of the executive board in charge of international business.
