Former world number one Roger Federer-backed brand On posted
more than $500 million in revenues in the first quarter of 2024. The sports
apparel brand was established in 2010 and currently has more than 2,300 employees.
As per the latest report, the company generated sales
revenue of $558 million in the first quarter of the year which was nearly 21 per cent year-on growth. The report further stated that On’s gross profit also increased
by nearly 24 per cent compared to last year. The brand has received endorsement from
a number of tennis players in the world including the likes of America’s Ben
Sheldon, women’s world number one Iga Swiatek.
Federer is often regarded as one of the greatest players in
the history of men’s tennis in the Open era, having won 20 Grand Slam
titles in his illustrious career. The 42-year-old struggled with fitness
concerns towards the later stages of his career as he decided to retire from
the sport in 2022. Federer was the first men’s player in the history of tennis to
win more than 15 Grand Slam titles in the singles category. Similarly, he was
also the first player in men’s tennis to win 20 or more major titles.
