International Recognition.- The success of the
development and focal point of business in this portal brought International
recognition to the ZapaNET team through a 'Special Commendation' in 'Trading
Award' presented by the prestigious British Editorial Group The Economist
in 1998. This was the first time that a Spanish company succeeded in reaching
the final in the prestigious International Competition 'Information Strategy
Award', in which more than 1,000 companies from the EU participated.
From
ZapaNET to moddo.com.- After a prudent period of time in which the
Spanish footwear, component and complements industry served as a testing
model that demonstrated the viability of the project, ZapaNET began its
international expansion in July 2000, coinciding with its participation
in FRANCAL (the most important footwear fair in Brazil). ZapaNET presented
its new name and image in response to the need to adapt to a constantly
evolving market and in order to reflect its corporate image and experience
that it had acquired in e-commerce to the date. From now on moddo.com
replaces ZapaNET and becomes the new portal.
Investors support.- The solid management of moddo.com
has confirmed this business reality and gained the confidence of groups
of investors such as BBVA, 3i, and Venture Park (Bertelsmann Group), with
whom moddo.com opened a new era of financial support in November 2000,
with a combined investment of over 1 billion pesetas. Currently, the name
and image of moddo.com consists of the individual identities of over 800
businesses in the footwear, components and complements industries in 33
countries all over the world. These companies have dedicated themselves
to evolve and adapt to a new way of business and development of commercial
contacts in an ever changing world.
International expansion.- Proof to global presence
and world supply manifested itself, moddo continues its international
activity with the incorporation of new distributors/agents/representatives
in the most relevant countries of the sector thanks to the program moddo
Network. This new international impulse has been translated in a constant
growth of the virtual community of professionals who develop commercial
relationships and contacts through moddo.com and moddo is represented
in Brazil, Peru, Colombia, Portugal...
Today
moddo.com is the portal of world reference for professionals of the footwear,
components and complements industry, undisputed leader in both Electronic
Commerce and Value Added Services and Contents. Definitively, moddo.com
permits contact between businesses and professionals with the best and
most specialized help to offer in order to adapt to the new way of doing
business that takes full advantage of the competitive edge that offers
the internet.
