Zara was founded in 1963 by Amancio Ortega Gaona in La Coruna, Spain. It is known for its fast fashion business model and vertical integration of production. Zara uses a supply chain management system that allows it to design, produce and distribute new fashion items to stores twice a week based on customer demand. This pull strategy helps Zara reduce risks and costs while maintaining low inventories.
