Market leader for modular systems in Europe

Everything starts in 1925 with the foundation of the textile business in Neuhaus/Pegnitz in the region of Franconia/Germany. After 4 decades of successful expansion, forward-looking decisions are taken: the company focuses exclusively on menswear and relocates its company headquarters to Hersbruck in Franconia.

 

In the 70s and 80s, up to 650 jobs are created here, the business with classic suits under the label CRÉATION GROSS flourishing in Germany and beyond its borders. In 1991, the company presents a younger, personalized and slightly modified label. CRÉATION GROSS becomes CARL GROSS, named after one of the brothers of the founder August Gross.

 

In addition to the classic pre-order business, the first modular systems are launched successfully, making the company one of the leading specialists in Europe. The portfolio is continuously extended by flash and NOS (Never out of Stock) programs. With the launch of the more progressive, young brand CG in 2003, Création Gross GmbH & Co. KG gains a new important target group.

 

Today, the company has 650 employees in Germany and abroad and sells to more than 21 countries, the export share amounting to 50 %. More than 800 trading partners worldwide rely on the specialists from the town of Hersbruck in Franconia. In 2010, the company boasts an annual turnover of 50.5 million EUR.
