The company was founded in 1907 by Josef Witt (1884-1954). Josef Witt is regarded as a pioneer in the mail-order business in Germany. In 1907 he took over his sister's grocer's store in Reuth bei Erbendorf. This was the beginning what became later an extremely successful mail-order house. In the 1930s the business had expanded significantly. The company had a workforce of 5,000 employees; sales raised to 86 million Reichsmarks. After the death of Josef Witt, his wife Monika continued the business operations from 1954 to 1958. Then their son, Josef Witt Jr., took over. Because of a sales crisis in the 1980s, the company was sold to Schwab, a subsidiary of the Otto Group. The firm had an annual turnover of €666 million in the fiscal year 2012-2013. Thomas Witt, the grandson of Josef Witt, founded the Museum Witt in Munich. The Witt family has no financial stake in Witt Weiden. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Witt Weiden」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
