ITALY. Gebr Heinemann has won the tender to operate the key travel retail contract at Pisa Galileo Galilei Airport under a six-year deal that runs to late 2017.
The retailer will open a 160sq m store on 12 January. The shop will be completely refitted from March 2012 to introduce a new look.

The new store adds to the Gebr Heinemann presence in Italy. It opened two Travel Value & Duty Free shops at Bologna Airport in Spring, marking its debut in the country.
In common with the first two stores in Bologna, the new Pisa outlet will be run by the subsidiary Travel Retail Italiana (a joint venture between Gebr Heinemann and Slovenian partner Regal GH).
“Gebr Heinemann has already demonstrated an ability to adapt well to local conditions at our first Italian location – we are successfully established in Bologna. In Pisa we are seeking to strengthen our position on the Italian market,” said Peter Irion, management board member at Gebr Heinemann.
