Barcelona, October 6 – Borsalino, client of ZeroGrey and the oldest Italian manufacturer specialising in the production of luxury hats, has once again received recognition for being an exceptional, premium brand. The icon of Italian style and fashion won a prestigious award for its exceptional performance in the international arena. Through such recognition, Borsalino joins the list of customers who have achieved great success in e-commerce, thanks to the knowledge and expertise of e-commerce accelerators such as ZeroGrey.
Cross-Border Magazine is a publication dedicated to showcasing a wide variety of successful companies, all of which start out with significantly different approaches. It is made by entrepreneurs for entrepreneurs. Each year, the Cross-Border Magazine team dedicates awards to new and unique e-commerce concepts, successful projects and revolutionary ideas. ZeroGrey is at the heart of Borsalino picking up the award this year.
The award was presented by Daniel Viniegra, Chief Commercial and Partnership Officer of Go Global Ecommerce, to Marika Zaramella, an E-Commerce Executive at Borsalino.
This recent success is the result of a flourishing project with Go Global Ecommerce and ZeroGrey. Go Global Ecommerce provided cross-border e-commerce solutions and ZeroGrey brought more than 22 years of e-commerce experience to the successful internationalisation project of one of the most recognisable hat brands in history. Today Borsalino sells to every corner of the world except Japan.
ZeroGrey is delighted to have facilitated the expansion of the illustrious Italian label into new digital markets. The same is true of Borsalino’s customers, who, no matter where they are, enjoy a local user experience that streamlines the checkout process and caters to their specific needs. This is largely thanks to ongoing effort and services provided to Borsalino by ZeroGrey, which include e-commerce management, frontend development and e-commerce consultancy to support their ongoing internationalisation.
Regarding the award, Ileano also added that, “We are immensely satisfied with the collaboration of both companies on the Borsalino project. The award Borsalino received only reaffirms our status as an e-commerce accelerator which guides brands towards growth and helps them to shape the future of their digital strategy. With our 22 years of experience, we at ZeroGrey are proud, once again, to say that we are a company that delivers. We are pleased to have opened the doors for the renowned Italian brand to internationalise into new online markets.”
