Ireland and the Czech Republic are the first two countries Zalando will enter since 2013. With the two new markets, Zalando will expand its local reach and open its offering to an additional 15.4 million citizens. Customers will have access to Zalando’s wide assortment, and free delivery and returns. Ireland and the Czech Republic are adjacent to current Zalando markets and will be served by Zalando’s existing logistics sites.

New Languages for Customers in Germany and Switzerland

Beyond expanding into two new countries, Zalando will further localize its proposition in Germany and Switzerland by offering additional language versions of its online shops. From mid-summer 2018 onwards, customers in Germany will have access to an English language version of the German shop, and customers in Switzerland will benefit from an Italian language version of the Swiss shop. By extending language options, Zalando aims to enhance the shopping experience of customers in both countries.
