At the end of last year Borovo sent their first container to Singapore, and next month will send their first shipment of products to Canada thanks to an agreement with Canadian distributor Global Shoes Connection from Vancouver. The company also has had orders from as far as Australia.

“The container will leave for Canada on 15 February, which means a return to a former market for Borovo. It will be the first shipment to Canada since the war. The container will have a range of Startas sneakers and also a collection of My Ballerinas,” Borovo Marketing Manager Martina Tomljenović told Poslovni dnevnik, adding that the volume will increase if the products are successful.
