- As the underwear business lost momentum in the late 1960s, Grupp bet on T-shirts and expanded production.
- Trigema delivered 3,000 batik T-shirts to C&A; shortly afterward, another 30,000 were ordered, Grupp reported in 2023.
- Grupp scaled back costly diversification; according to the company, bank debt was fully repaid in 1975, when revenue reached 28.1 million marks.
- Grupp put his planned doctorate on hold to devote himself entirely to the family business.
“We had ten million marks in bank debt. The company was making losses in the millions.”— Wolfgang Grupp, quoted in his biography about Trigema’s financial situation when he joined the family business in 1969.
