Si l'on consid\u00e8re uniquement l'activit\u00e9 de custom fitting, elle a connu une croissance significative au cours des deux derni\u00e8res ann\u00e9es et, d'apr\u00e8s ce que nous voyons, elle ne fera que continuer \u00e0 cro\u00eetre.<br\/>\n<br\/>Nous disposons d'une installation de montage sur mesure \u00e0 Leeds, en Angleterre, depuis 2015. Lorsque le Brexit s'est produit il y a quelques ann\u00e9es, il a restreint la libre circulation des marchandises sur les march\u00e9s europ\u00e9ens et a ajout\u00e9 une certaine complexit\u00e9 \u00e0 l'activit\u00e9 de custom fit. Pour \u00eatre s\u00fbrs de nous pr\u00e9parer \u00e0 la croissance future, nous avons d\u00e9cid\u00e9 d'ouvrir un deuxi\u00e8me \u00e9tablissement pour \u00eatre s\u00fbrs de soutenir au mieux l'activit\u00e9 europ\u00e9enne en dehors du Royaume-Uni, et pour permettre un meilleur service aux consommateurs et aux partenaires de vente au d\u00e9tail \u00e0 travers l'Europe.<br\/>\n<br\/><strong>Pouvez-vous nous dire ce qu'offre le nouveau centre de production ? Comment fonctionne-t-il ?<\/strong><br\/>\n<br\/>Henrik : Essentiellement, il s'agit de clubs de golf personnalis\u00e9s : nous construisons des clubs de golf sur mesure pour r\u00e9pondre aux besoins individuels des consommateurs. Nos \u00e9quipes de vente sur tous les march\u00e9s d'Europe organisent des s\u00e9ances d'essayage au cours desquelles elles rencontrent les consommateurs, leur font essayer notre \u00e9quipement en ligne et proc\u00e8dent \u00e0 des essayages pour lesquels elles suivent les donn\u00e9es sur des moniteurs de lancement, afin de s'assurer que les sp\u00e9cifications des clubs de golf sont correctes. Ensuite, nos repr\u00e9sentants ou le d\u00e9taillant du lieu o\u00f9 se d\u00e9roule l'\u00e9v\u00e9nement passent une commande qui passe par le syst\u00e8me et arrive \u00e0 l'atelier de production. L'\u00e9quipe de custom fitting d'Helsingborg s\u00e9lectionne alors les composants n\u00e9cessaires \u00e0 la commande sp\u00e9cifique, la construit et la renvoie directement au d\u00e9taillant - pour que le consommateur vienne la chercher.<br\/>\n<\/div>\n   <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- row image single -->\n<div class=\"row rowSingleColumnWide spacing\">\n\t<div class=\"col\">\n\t<div class=\"0 scrollAnim\" \n\t    \n\t     style=\"Wide;position:relative;overflow:hidden;\t;\" >\n\t<img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\"\n\t    class=\"\"\n\t    src=\"https:\/\/www.puma-catchup.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/AL_G1.png\" style=\"transition: 0.35s all;height:100%;width:100%;\t    object-position: 50% 0%; object-fit: cover;\"\/>\n\t    <\/div>\n\t\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- row two columns -->\n<div class=\"row rowTwoColumnsWide spacing\">\n    <div class=\"col articleText\">\n        <div ><br\/><strong>O\u00f9 se font les raccords ?<\/strong><br\/>\n<br\/>Henrik : Ils sont effectu\u00e9s dans les clubs de golf ainsi que dans les magasins de d\u00e9tail. Notre \u00e9quipe organise de nombreux \u00e9v\u00e9nements de fitting tout au long de la saison afin de donner au plus grand nombre de consommateurs la possibilit\u00e9 d'essayer et de se faire \u00e9quiper avec des clubs Cobra. De nombreux essayages sont \u00e9galement effectu\u00e9s par nos partenaires d\u00e9taillants. Le secteur du golf est divis\u00e9 en ce que nous appelons le \u201coff course channel\u201d, c'est-\u00e0-dire les grands magasins situ\u00e9s \u00e0 l'ext\u00e9rieur des terrains de golf, et le \u201con course channel\u201d, c'est-\u00e0-dire les petits magasins de golf situ\u00e9s sur les terrains de golf. Nous leur fournissons des outils d'ajustement afin qu'ils puissent s'occuper des consommateurs tous les jours sur le practice (On Course) ou en int\u00e9rieur gr\u00e2ce \u00e0 un simulateur (Off Course).<br\/>\n<br\/><strong>Comment les consommateurs b\u00e9n\u00e9ficieront-ils du nouveau centre ? <\/strong><br\/>\n<br\/>Henrik : Pour les consommateurs, nous offrons bien s\u00fbr le meilleur de notre gamme de produits et la possibilit\u00e9 de les adapter \u00e0 leurs besoins individuels. Ils peuvent s'attendre non seulement \u00e0 une qualit\u00e9 optimale, mais aussi \u00e0 des livraisons rapides. Avec ce nouveau site et celui existant au Royaume-Uni, notre ambition est de nous rapprocher de nos clients et de travailler ensemble pour offrir \u00e0 un plus grand nombre d'entre eux la possibilit\u00e9 de s'\u00e9quiper avec des clubs Cobra.<br\/>\n<\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"col articleText\">\n        <div ><br\/><strong>Combien de temps s'\u00e9coule-t-il entre la commande et la r\u00e9ception ?<\/strong><br\/>\n<br\/>Henrik : Actuellement, nous visons 5 jours ouvrables (jours d'attente pour le client) en haute saison. Ce d\u00e9lai est mesur\u00e9 \u00e0 partir du moment o\u00f9 les commandes sont valid\u00e9es dans le syst\u00e8me jusqu'\u00e0 ce qu'elles soient exp\u00e9di\u00e9es de l'entrep\u00f4t. Pour l'instant, nous avons une moyenne de 1,5 jour de construction et un peu moins de 4 jours d'attente au total. Nous pr\u00e9voyons de produire environ 100 000 clubs de golf pour les consommateurs de toute l'Europe, \u00e0 l'exclusion du Royaume-Uni, en 2023.<br\/>\n<br\/><strong>La demande de clubs de golf sur mesure est donc \u00e9lev\u00e9e ?<\/strong><br\/>\n<br\/>Henrik : Oui, sans aucun doute. Cette \u00e9volution s'est acc\u00e9l\u00e9r\u00e9e au cours des deux derni\u00e8res ann\u00e9es, non seulement parce que le secteur du golf s'est d\u00e9velopp\u00e9, mais aussi parce que de plus en plus de consommateurs prennent le temps d'effectuer un essayage. Lorsque vous cr\u00e9ez des clubs de golf, vous \u00eates en quelque sorte limit\u00e9 dans la mani\u00e8re dont vous pouvez les d\u00e9velopper et dans les performances que vous pouvez y int\u00e9grer. L'essayage permet d'affiner l'\u00e9quipement pour qu'il corresponde mieux \u00e0 chaque golfeur. Ainsi, gr\u00e2ce au processus d'adaptation, il est possible d'obtenir plus de distance, de tol\u00e9rance et tous ces avantages qui rendent le golf plus agr\u00e9able pour les consommateurs. C'est la raison pour laquelle le custom fitting est une tendance tr\u00e8s forte en ce moment et c'est quelque chose que les golfeurs les plus exp\u00e9riment\u00e9s recherchent lorsqu'ils ach\u00e8tent des clubs de golf.<br\/>\n<\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- row text single -->\n<div class=\"gradientnone\">\n<div class=\"row rowSingleColumnWide spacing\">\n    <div class=\"col articleText\">\n        <div class=\"textStyle_2b\" ><strong class=\"textStyle_description\">\u201cL'activit\u00e9 d'ajustement sur mesure repr\u00e9sente environ 25% du chiffre d'affaires total des clubs actuellement. Cela varie un peu d'un march\u00e9 \u00e0 l'autre : certains march\u00e9s sont plus \u00e9lev\u00e9s et d'autres moins, mais je dirais que la moyenne est d'environ 25% et qu'elle augmente.\u201d<\/strong>\n<\/div>\n   <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- row image multi 1 -->\n<div class=\"row rowImages3 spacing\">\n\t<div class=\"\">\n\t\t<div class=\"row inner\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"col\">\n\t\t\t    <div class=\"bgimage\" style=\"aspect-ratio:0.75  ; background-image: url('https:\/\/www.puma-catchup.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/3-Grading-station-2-scaled-1-scaled.jpg'); background-size: cover;background-position: 50% 0%;width:100%\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"col\">\n\t\t\t    <div class=\"bgimage\" style=\"aspect-ratio:0.7505  ; background-image: url('https:\/\/www.puma-catchup.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Image-4.jpeg'); background-size: cover;background-position: 50% 0%;width:100%\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"col\">\n\t\t\t    <div class=\"bgimage\" style=\"aspect-ratio:0.75  ; background-image: url('https:\/\/www.puma-catchup.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/2-Irons-cutting-station-scaled-1-scaled.jpg'); background-size: cover;background-position: 50% 0%;width:100%\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- row two columns -->\n<div class=\"row rowTwoColumnsWide spacing\">\n    <div class=\"col articleText\">\n        <div ><br\/><strong>Quels sont les objectifs de COBRA PUMA Golf avec ce nouveau centre ?<\/strong><br\/>\n<br\/>Henrik : Notre ambition est d'accorder une plus grande priorit\u00e9 au golf et d'aider la cat\u00e9gorie \u00e0 se d\u00e9velopper au sein de PUMA. Pour ce faire, il est tr\u00e8s important de passer \u00e0 l'\u00e9tape suivante dans l'espace d'essayage et de s'assurer que nous fournissons le service que les consommateurs et les d\u00e9taillants attendent de nous \u00e0 l'avenir. Nous avons vraiment h\u00e2te de commencer et de continuer \u00e0 d\u00e9velopper les installations au Royaume-Uni et en Su\u00e8de pour de nombreuses ann\u00e9es \u00e0 venir.<strong>\u00a0<\/strong><br\/>\n<br\/><strong>Pourquoi a-t-on d\u00e9cid\u00e9 de construire le centre d'adaptation en Su\u00e8de ?<\/strong><br\/>\n<br\/>Henrik : Lorsque nous avons lanc\u00e9 ce projet, nous avons \u00e9videmment explor\u00e9 diff\u00e9rentes alternatives. Le choix s'est port\u00e9 sur la Su\u00e8de parce que nous avons un h\u00e9ritage tr\u00e8s fort dans ce pays avec COBRA. COBRA d\u00e9tient les parts de march\u00e9 les plus \u00e9lev\u00e9es au monde en Su\u00e8de et ce march\u00e9 a \u00e9t\u00e9 tr\u00e8s fort pour COBRA au cours des 20 derni\u00e8res ann\u00e9es. La position de COBRA en Su\u00e8de a \u00e9t\u00e9 cr\u00e9\u00e9e par une \u00e9quipe tr\u00e8s talentueuse et tr\u00e8s exp\u00e9riment\u00e9e. J'\u00e9tais convaincu que nous disposions d\u00e9j\u00e0 des bonnes personnes pour g\u00e9rer cette activit\u00e9 d'appareillage sur mesure. Nous disposions \u00e9galement d'un espace libre dans l'entrep\u00f4t PUMA d'Helsingborg, un centre de distribution ultramoderne et automatis\u00e9 pour les march\u00e9s nordiques.<br\/>\n<br\/>Parmi les diff\u00e9rentes possibilit\u00e9s, la d\u00e9cision d'opter pour la Su\u00e8de s'est impos\u00e9e d'elle-m\u00eame. Nous avons re\u00e7u un tr\u00e8s bon soutien de PUMA, en Su\u00e8de, pour que le projet soit rapidement mis en place. Helsingborg \u00e9tant situ\u00e9e dans le sud de la Su\u00e8de, elle est \u00e9galement accessible aux march\u00e9s d'Europe continentale. Environ la moiti\u00e9 de nos activit\u00e9s d'ajustement sur mesure en dehors du Royaume-Uni se d\u00e9roulent actuellement en Su\u00e8de. Comme nous l'avons mentionn\u00e9, le march\u00e9 su\u00e9dois est important pour nous, car nous y avons des liens \u00e9troits, et la production locale nous aidera \u00e0 maintenir cette relation b\u00e9n\u00e9fique avec nos clients en Su\u00e8de.<br\/>\n<\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"col articleText\">\n        <div ><br\/><strong>Une grande partie de l'activit\u00e9 du centre de production britannique s'est-elle d\u00e9plac\u00e9e vers la Su\u00e8de ?<\/strong><br\/>\n<br\/>Henrik : On peut dire qu'environ la moiti\u00e9 de la production britannique a \u00e9t\u00e9 transf\u00e9r\u00e9e en Su\u00e8de. Le revers de la m\u00e9daille, c'est que nous disposons \u00e9galement d'une tr\u00e8s bonne capacit\u00e9 au Royaume-Uni. Le Royaume-Uni est le plus grand march\u00e9 d'Europe et le fait d'\u00e9tendre le service \u00e0 l'Europe continentale et aux pays nordiques nous donne l'occasion de mieux servir les clients britanniques. L'activit\u00e9 de montage sur mesure a \u00e9t\u00e9 couronn\u00e9e de succ\u00e8s jusqu'\u00e0 pr\u00e9sent au Royaume-Uni \u00e9galement.

Our sales teams across all markets in Europe carry out fitting events where they meet up with consumers, let them try our inline equipment and do fittings where they track data in launch monitors, to make sure they get to the right specifications of the golf clubs. Then our representatives or the retailer at the location where we run the event place an order that flow through the system and shows up at the production floor. Then the custom fitting team in Helsingborg pick the components needed for the specific order, build it and ship it back directly to the retailer \u2013 for the consumer to pick it up.\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\n\",\"width\":\"Wide\",\"aspect\":\"0\",\"style\":\"2b\"} \/--><!-- wp:puma\/row-image-single {\"images\":[{\"width\":1510,\"height\":840,\"file\":\"2023\/06\/AL_G1.png\",\"filesize\":807149,\"sizes\":{\"medium\":{\"file\":\"AL_G1-300x167.png\",\"width\":300,\"height\":167,\"mime-type\":\"image\/png\",\"filesize\":41267},\"large\":{\"file\":\"AL_G1-1024x570.png\",\"width\":1024,\"height\":570,\"mime-type\":\"image\/png\",\"filesize\":387160},\"thumbnail\":{\"file\":\"AL_G1-150x150.png\",\"width\":150,\"height\":150,\"mime-type\":\"image\/png\",\"filesize\":20441},\"medium_large\":{\"file\":\"AL_G1-768x427.png\",\"width\":768,\"height\":427,\"mime-type\":\"image\/png\",\"filesize\":223288},\"trp-custom-language-flag\":{\"file\":\"AL_G1-18x10.png\",\"width\":18,\"height\":10,\"mime-type\":\"image\/png\",\"filesize\":756}},\"image_meta\":{\"aperture\":\"0\",\"credit\":\"\",\"camera\":\"\",\"caption\":\"\",\"created_timestamp\":\"0\",\"copyright\":\"\",\"focal_length\":\"0\",\"iso\":\"0\",\"shutter_speed\":\"0\",\"title\":\"\",\"orientation\":\"0\",\"keywords\":[]},\"id\":51462,\"alt\":\"\",\"caption\":\"\",\"description\":\"\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/www.puma-catchup.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/AL_G1.png\",\"title\":\"AL_G1\",\"aspect_ratio\":1.7976190476190477,\"focalPointLeft\":0.5,\"focalPointTop\":0}],\"showCaptions\":[false],\"image\":{\"width\":1510,\"height\":840,\"file\":\"2023\/06\/AL_G1.png\",\"filesize\":807149,\"sizes\":{\"medium\":{\"file\":\"AL_G1-300x167.png\",\"width\":300,\"height\":167,\"mime-type\":\"image\/png\",\"filesize\":41267},\"large\":{\"file\":\"AL_G1-1024x570.png\",\"width\":1024,\"height\":570,\"mime-type\":\"image\/png\",\"filesize\":387160},\"thumbnail\":{\"file\":\"AL_G1-150x150.png\",\"width\":150,\"height\":150,\"mime-type\":\"image\/png\",\"filesize\":20441},\"medium_large\":{\"file\":\"AL_G1-768x427.png\",\"width\":768,\"height\":427,\"mime-type\":\"image\/png\",\"filesize\":223288},\"trp-custom-language-flag\":{\"file\":\"AL_G1-18x10.png\",\"width\":18,\"height\":10,\"mime-type\":\"image\/png\",\"filesize\":756}},\"image_meta\":{\"aperture\":\"0\",\"credit\":\"\",\"camera\":\"\",\"caption\":\"\",\"created_timestamp\":\"0\",\"copyright\":\"\",\"focal_length\":\"0\",\"iso\":\"0\",\"shutter_speed\":\"0\",\"title\":\"\",\"orientation\":\"0\",\"keywords\":[]},\"id\":51462,\"alt\":\"\",\"caption\":\"\",\"description\":\"\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/www.puma-catchup.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/AL_G1.png\",\"title\":\"AL_G1\",\"aspect_ratio\":1.7976190476190477,\"focalPointLeft\":0.5,\"focalPointTop\":0},\"style\":\"Wide\"} \/--><!-- wp:puma\/row-two-columns {\"contentLeft\":\"\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\u0026lt;strong\\u0026gt;Where do you do the fittings?\\u0026lt;\/strong\\u0026gt;\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\n\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;Henrik: They are carried out at golfclubs as well as in retail stores. Our team run a lot of fitting events throughout the season to give as many consumers as possible the opportunity to try and get fitted with Cobra clubs. Many fittings are also carried out through our retail partners themselves. The golf business is divided in what we call \u201coff course channel\u201d, which is bigger stores outside the golf courses, and \u201con course channel\u201d which are the smaller golf shops located at golf courses. We provide them with fitting tools so they can take care of consumers every day at the driving range (On Course) or indoor through a simulator (Off Course).\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\n\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\u0026lt;strong\\u0026gt;How will consumers benefit from the new centre? \\u0026lt;\/strong\\u0026gt;\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\n\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;Henrik: For the consumers, we of course offer the best of our product range and the possibility to get it custom fitted to their individual needs. They can expect to get not only the highest quality, but to also fast deliveries. With the new facility together with the existing one in UK, our ambition is to get closer to our customers and work together to offer more consumers the opportunity to get fitted with Cobra clubs.\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\n\",\"contentRight\":\"\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\u0026lt;strong\\u0026gt;How long does it take from placing an order to receiving it?\\u0026lt;\/strong\\u0026gt;\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\n\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;Henrik: Currently, we are targeting 5 working days (customer wait days) in peak season. This is measured from when the orders are released in the system until they ship out of the warehouse. At the moment, we are running on an average of 1.5 building days and slightly below 4 customer waiting days in total. We expect to produce approximately 100,000 golf clubs to consumers across Europe, excluding UK, in 2023.\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\n\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\u0026lt;strong\\u0026gt;So, the demand for custom fit golf clubs is high?\\u0026lt;\/strong\\u0026gt;\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\n\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;Henrik: Yes, for sure. It has accelerated over the last couple of years, not only because the golf business has grown, but also the fact that more consumers take the time to go through a fitting. When you create golf clubs, you are kind of restricted in terms of how you can develop them and how much performance you can build into them. When you do a fitting, you can fine tune the equipment to fit that individual golfer better. So, through a fitting process, you are likely to gain more distance and forgiveness and all these extras to make golf more enjoyable for the consumers. That\u2019s why custom fitting is trending really well right now and is something that especially the more experienced golfers go through when they are buying golf clubs.\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\n\",\"width\":\"Wide\"} \/--><!-- wp:puma\/row-text-single {\"content\":\"\\u003cstrong class=\\u0022textStyle_description\\u0022\\u003e\u201cThe custom fit business is approximately around 25% of the total club sales currently.

{\"contentLeft\":\"\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\u0026lt;strong\\u0026gt;What does COBRA PUMA Golf hope to achieve with this new centre?\\u0026lt;\/strong\\u0026gt;\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\n\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;Henrik: Our ambition is to put more priority on golf and help the category to grow within wider PUMA. A very important part of this was taking the next step in the fitting space and making sure we provide the service that both the consumers and the retailers expect from us going forward. We really look forward to getting this going and to keep on developing the facilities in the UK and Sweden for many years to come.\\u0026lt;strong\\u0026gt;\u00a0\\u0026lt;\/strong\\u0026gt;\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\n\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\u0026lt;strong\\u0026gt;Why was it decided to build the custom fit centre in Sweden?\\u0026lt;\/strong\\u0026gt;\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\n\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;Henrik: When we kicked off this project, we obviously explored different alternatives. It landed in Sweden because we have a very strong heritage in Sweden with COBRA. COBRA has the highest market shares in the world in Sweden and it has been a very strong market for COBRA in the last almost 20 years. The position for COBRA in Sweden was obviously created by a very talented team with a lot of experience. I was very confident that we already had the right people in place to manage this custom fitting business. We also had some free space in the PUMA warehouse in Helsingborg, a top-modern and automatised distribution centre for the Nordic markets.\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\n\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;Among different alternatives, it was a pretty clear decision to go for Sweden. We got very good support from PUMA, in Sweden, to get this up and running fast. Since Helsingborg is in the South part of Sweden, it is also accessible to the continental European markets. Approximately half the of the custom fit business we do outside of the UK currently sits in Sweden. As mentioned, the Swedish market is important for us with a strong local connection, and now the local production will help us to maintain this beneficial relationship with our customers in Sweden.\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\n\",\"contentRight\":\"\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\u0026lt;strong\\u0026gt;Has a lot of the business that came out of the production centre in the UK now shifted to Sweden?\\u0026lt;\/strong\\u0026gt;\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\n\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;Henrik: You could say that approximately half of the production that the UK was doing before has now moved over to Sweden. The flipside of that is obviously we have a very good capacity in the UK as well. UK is the biggest market in Europe and taking out the service to continental Europe and the Nordics gives us the opportunity to also serve the UK customers better. The custom fitting business has been successful so far in the UK as well. We\u00b4ll keep that facility to serve the UK market, it\u2019s kind of a win-win situation and we look to grow the business in all markets in Europe.\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\n\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\u0026lt;strong\\u0026gt;Are there other custom fit centres aside from the UK and Sweden?\\u0026lt;\/strong\\u0026gt;\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\n\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;Henrik: Globally, COBRA have a fitting facility in Carlsbad where we also have our headquarters to serve the North American markets. We also have a custom fit setup in Australia, South Africa and recently opened a fitting facility in Japan, so there is a structure in place to serve consumers all over the world and to help them to Enjoy Golf even more.\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\n\",\"width\":\"Wide\"} \/--><!-- wp:puma\/row-text-single {\"content\":\"\\u003ch2\\u003eCobra Custom

When Brexit happened a few years ago, it restricted the free flow of goods into the European markets and added some complexity to the custom fit business. To make sure that we set up for future growth, we decided to open a second facility to make sure we supported the European business outside of the UK in the best way, and to allow for better service for consumers and retail partners across Europe.\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\n\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\u0026lt;strong\\u0026gt;Can you tell us what the new production centre offers.

Our sales teams across all markets in Europe carry out fitting events where they meet up with consumers, let them try our inline equipment and do fittings where they track data in launch monitors, to make sure they get to the right specifications of the golf clubs. Then our representatives or the retailer at the location where we run the event place an order that flow through the system and shows up at the production floor. Then the custom fitting team in Helsingborg pick the components needed for the specific order, build it and ship it back directly to the retailer \u2013 for the consumer to pick it up.\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\n\",\"width\":\"Wide\",\"aspect\":\"0\",\"style\":\"2b\"} \/--><!-- wp:puma\/row-image-single {\"images\":[{\"width\":1510,\"height\":840,\"file\":\"2023\/06\/AL_G1.png\",\"filesize\":807149,\"sizes\":{\"medium\":{\"file\":\"AL_G1-300x167.png\",\"width\":300,\"height\":167,\"mime-type\":\"image\/png\",\"filesize\":41267},\"large\":{\"file\":\"AL_G1-1024x570.png\",\"width\":1024,\"height\":570,\"mime-type\":\"image\/png\",\"filesize\":387160},\"thumbnail\":{\"file\":\"AL_G1-150x150.png\",\"width\":150,\"height\":150,\"mime-type\":\"image\/png\",\"filesize\":20441},\"medium_large\":{\"file\":\"AL_G1-768x427.png\",\"width\":768,\"height\":427,\"mime-type\":\"image\/png\",\"filesize\":223288},\"trp-custom-language-flag\":{\"file\":\"AL_G1-18x10.png\",\"width\":18,\"height\":10,\"mime-type\":\"image\/png\",\"filesize\":756}},\"image_meta\":{\"aperture\":\"0\",\"credit\":\"\",\"camera\":\"\",\"caption\":\"\",\"created_timestamp\":\"0\",\"copyright\":\"\",\"focal_length\":\"0\",\"iso\":\"0\",\"shutter_speed\":\"0\",\"title\":\"\",\"orientation\":\"0\",\"keywords\":[]},\"id\":51462,\"alt\":\"\",\"caption\":\"\",\"description\":\"\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/www.puma-catchup.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/AL_G1.png\",\"title\":\"AL_G1\",\"aspect_ratio\":1.7976190476190477,\"focalPointLeft\":0.5,\"focalPointTop\":0}],\"showCaptions\":[false],\"image\":{\"width\":1510,\"height\":840,\"file\":\"2023\/06\/AL_G1.png\",\"filesize\":807149,\"sizes\":{\"medium\":{\"file\":\"AL_G1-300x167.png\",\"width\":300,\"height\":167,\"mime-type\":\"image\/png\",\"filesize\":41267},\"large\":{\"file\":\"AL_G1-1024x570.png\",\"width\":1024,\"height\":570,\"mime-type\":\"image\/png\",\"filesize\":387160},\"thumbnail\":{\"file\":\"AL_G1-150x150.png\",\"width\":150,\"height\":150,\"mime-type\":\"image\/png\",\"filesize\":20441},\"medium_large\":{\"file\":\"AL_G1-768x427.png\",\"width\":768,\"height\":427,\"mime-type\":\"image\/png\",\"filesize\":223288},\"trp-custom-language-flag\":{\"file\":\"AL_G1-18x10.png\",\"width\":18,\"height\":10,\"mime-type\":\"image\/png\",\"filesize\":756}},\"image_meta\":{\"aperture\":\"0\",\"credit\":\"\",\"camera\":\"\",\"caption\":\"\",\"created_timestamp\":\"0\",\"copyright\":\"\",\"focal_length\":\"0\",\"iso\":\"0\",\"shutter_speed\":\"0\",\"title\":\"\",\"orientation\":\"0\",\"keywords\":[]},\"id\":51462,\"alt\":\"\",\"caption\":\"\",\"description\":\"\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/www.puma-catchup.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/AL_G1.png\",\"title\":\"AL_G1\",\"aspect_ratio\":1.7976190476190477,\"focalPointLeft\":0.5,\"focalPointTop\":0},\"style\":\"Wide\"} \/--><!-- wp:puma\/row-two-columns {\"contentLeft\":\"\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\u0026lt;strong\\u0026gt;Where do you do the fittings?\\u0026lt;\/strong\\u0026gt;\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\n\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;Henrik: They are carried out at golfclubs as well as in retail stores. Our team run a lot of fitting events throughout the season to give as many consumers as possible the opportunity to try and get fitted with Cobra clubs. Many fittings are also carried out through our retail partners themselves. The golf business is divided in what we call \u201coff course channel\u201d, which is bigger stores outside the golf courses, and \u201con course channel\u201d which are the smaller golf shops located at golf courses. We provide them with fitting tools so they can take care of consumers every day at the driving range (On Course) or indoor through a simulator (Off Course).\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\n\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\u0026lt;strong\\u0026gt;How will consumers benefit from the new centre? \\u0026lt;\/strong\\u0026gt;\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\n\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;Henrik: For the consumers, we of course offer the best of our product range and the possibility to get it custom fitted to their individual needs. They can expect to get not only the highest quality, but to also fast deliveries. With the new facility together with the existing one in UK, our ambition is to get closer to our customers and work together to offer more consumers the opportunity to get fitted with Cobra clubs.\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\n\",\"contentRight\":\"\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\u0026lt;strong\\u0026gt;How long does it take from placing an order to receiving it?\\u0026lt;\/strong\\u0026gt;\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\n\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;Henrik: Currently, we are targeting 5 working days (customer wait days) in peak season. This is measured from when the orders are released in the system until they ship out of the warehouse. At the moment, we are running on an average of 1.5 building days and slightly below 4 customer waiting days in total. We expect to produce approximately 100,000 golf clubs to consumers across Europe, excluding UK, in 2023.\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\n\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\u0026lt;strong\\u0026gt;So, the demand for custom fit golf clubs is high?\\u0026lt;\/strong\\u0026gt;\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\n\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;Henrik: Yes, for sure. It has accelerated over the last couple of years, not only because the golf business has grown, but also the fact that more consumers take the time to go through a fitting. When you create golf clubs, you are kind of restricted in terms of how you can develop them and how much performance you can build into them. When you do a fitting, you can fine tune the equipment to fit that individual golfer better. So, through a fitting process, you are likely to gain more distance and forgiveness and all these extras to make golf more enjoyable for the consumers. That\u2019s why custom fitting is trending really well right now and is something that especially the more experienced golfers go through when they are buying golf clubs.\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\n\",\"width\":\"Wide\"} \/--><!-- wp:puma\/row-text-single {\"content\":\"\\u003cstrong class=\\u0022textStyle_description\\u0022\\u003e\u201cThe custom fit business is approximately around 25% of the total club sales currently.

It landed in Sweden because we have a very strong heritage in Sweden with COBRA. COBRA has the highest market shares in the world in Sweden and it has been a very strong market for COBRA in the last almost 20 years. The position for COBRA in Sweden was obviously created by a very talented team with a lot of experience. I was very confident that we already had the right people in place to manage this custom fitting business. We also had some free space in the PUMA warehouse in Helsingborg, a top-modern and automatised distribution centre for the Nordic markets.\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\n\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;Among different alternatives, it was a pretty clear decision to go for Sweden. We got very good support from PUMA, in Sweden, to get this up and running fast. Since Helsingborg is in the South part of Sweden, it is also accessible to the continental European markets. Approximately half the of the custom fit business we do outside of the UK currently sits in Sweden. As mentioned, the Swedish market is important for us with a strong local connection, and now the local production will help us to maintain this beneficial relationship with our customers in Sweden.\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\n\",\"contentRight\":\"\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\u0026lt;strong\\u0026gt;Has a lot of the business that came out of the production centre in the UK now shifted to Sweden?\\u0026lt;\/strong\\u0026gt;\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\n\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;Henrik: You could say that approximately half of the production that the UK was doing before has now moved over to Sweden. The flipside of that is obviously we have a very good capacity in the UK as well. UK is the biggest market in Europe and taking out the service to continental Europe and the Nordics gives us the opportunity to also serve the UK customers better. The custom fitting business has been successful so far in the UK as well. We\u00b4ll keep that facility to serve the UK market, it\u2019s kind of a win-win situation and we look to grow the business in all markets in Europe.\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\n\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\u0026lt;strong\\u0026gt;Are there other custom fit centres aside from the UK and Sweden?\\u0026lt;\/strong\\u0026gt;\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\n\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;Henrik: Globally, COBRA have a fitting facility in Carlsbad where we also have our headquarters to serve the North American markets.
