- 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.

- According to his own account, Arday was diagnosed with autism at three, remained non-verbal until 11 and could not read or write until 18; Cambridge said he became its youngest Black person appointed to a professorship at 37.
- Cambridge announced an investigation on August 5 into new information about his academic qualifications and honorary appointments, after which Arday resigned that day; on August 12, an independent review was agreed.
- Arday’s family said after his death that a sustained campaign of abuse and misinformation had become too much for him.
