34 / Management Report / Vorwerk Carpets / Vorwerk Ventures This means that the foundations for another positive development in the future have been laid. Vorwerk Carpets wants to participate in the upswing in the German economy and thereby return to the path of growth that had characterised the business for five years up until the start of the crisis. The internationalisation strategy is to be continued with high quality, innovative products and new market segments as well as sales channels are to be actively developed with modified sales approaches. This is the reason why Vorwerk Carpets started to work together with other licensed and cooperation partners in 2010. Examples for innovative products are the textile tile “SCALE” and “FreeSCALE” by Hadi Teherani. They open up new horizons in interior decoration in terms of creativity, function and design and break with the convention of standard tile designs. The new shapes even extend to include fascinating free forms without any rectangular features in the FreeSCALE range. * 574.8 km/h Our Fastest Carpet Management Report / Vorwerk Direct Selling Ventures Advancing young companies Access to innovations in direct selling There’s no faster way to travel than on a Vorwerk carpet. After all, our carpet factory is the exclusive outfitter of the French high-speed TGV trains – one of which set a speed record on April 3, 2007 when it accelerated to a heady 574.8km/h. We also outfit the German ICE trains that reach speeds of up to 368km/h. This means that even at top speed your feet will remain comfortably on the ground. The Vorwerk Group gains insights into innovations in direct selling through its investment in young enterprises. In this way, the venture capital company contributes to advancing change and renewal within the Vorwerk Group. Vorwerk Direct Selling Ventures has been investing in companies pursuing a promising direct sales concept since 2007. This entity makes its investment decisions without any compelling regard to the current strategy of the Vorwerk Group, and consequently it has the scope to invest in completely new segments that have the potential for rapid growth and high profitability. The objective of Vorwerk Direct Selling Ventures is to create the fundamental conditions for a productive know-how transfer of expertise between the young entities and the various companies within the Group
