Branch equipment, marketing

In the past few years, a large part of Kleid Bauer's shops has been fundamentally renovated and modernized. All branches are exclusively multi-brand stores, in which over 80 brands such as Esprit , s.Oliver , Tom Tailor , G-Star and Roy Robson are offered. From 2008 to 2010, the former soccer player Hans Krankl was the face of the in-house men's label Aldo Colitti.

Wiener Neustädter animal welfare process

At the beginning of 2011 it became known that in the so-called Wiener Neustädter animal welfare process after personal intervention of the boss of clothes Bauer, Werner Graf, the "Soko clothes" was founded. As a result of this intervention, up to three dozen officers began investigating animal rights activists since April 2007. The trial of 13 animal rights activists, which was perceived as excessive, triggered a judicial scandal in Austria. The animal rights activists were accused of being members of a criminal organization under Section 278a of the German Criminal Code, but were ultimately acquitted on all counts.
