The German online fashion retailer Zalando has reported what it called an “outstanding” first half of 2016. Sales on the ecommerce site during Q2 have been reported to have risen by a quarter since the same time in 2015, leading to sales of 916 million Euros, almost double what it achieved in 2014. Zalando has credited investment in logistics and marketing for its successful year so far, saying that it now has over 18 million active customers, making around 3 to 4 orders on average each year. It has also announced that it has opened a research centre in Dublin, whilst beginning test runs from a brand new logistics warehouse in Germany.Â
