With the new location in Egypt, the company is now represented on four continents. Another opening will follow in Istanbul in June, according to a press release issued on Thursday.

Läderach is planning further branches in Asia by the end of 2025, including in Japan, South Korea and Indonesia. The company will then be present in 25 countries. Some of the expansion will take place with local franchise partners.

Läderach celebrated its 200th store at the end of 2024 and aims to have around 240 locations by the end of the financial year in July 2025. In order to keep pace with production, Läderach plans to open its third production site "Bilten 2" in August.
