Re-board^® helps Austrian fashion sports shop attract young people

Recently Gigasport’s (www.gigasport.at) flagship store in Graz, Austria, had one of its 6 floors completely refitted in Re-board. The project was made by Austrian Re-board licensee Reproteam (www.reproteam.at ), from design through production to installation.

Michael Hansbauer, Managing Director and owner of the company comments:

“We work very closely with Gigaprint’s department for shop design and decoration. When they approached us looking for a material for a shop design that would appeal to the “snowboard crowd” we showed them Re-board® and they immediately loved its look, feel, green image, stability and light weight”

After completion they gave a press conference /opening party inaugurating the Board Department. Articles appeared in all major regional newspapers and a regional television station ran a feature item. Reproteam’s designer Mario Anderhuber spent a mere 20 hours in total to complete the project . The production time was approximately two weeks with four employees, including installation in the shop. Around 200 sheets of 3200x1600x16 mm brown Re-board® was used.

Depending on the feedback from the customers – and it looks promising so far – most of Gigasport’s 30 outlets may undergo a similar make-over. The expected life time for the shop is up to three years, according to the customer.
