Isak Andic, founder of the Mango fashion empire, died on Saturday while walking with his family in Spain. He slipped and fell 150 meters.
The accident took place near the Collbató Saltpeter Caves. The entrepreneur’s wife and son immediately alerted the rescue services, but they were only able to recover the body of the 71-year-old.
The son stated that the group left Saturday morning. He himself went a little further forward than the other family members. Suddenly he heard a sound, turned around and saw his father falling into the depths. He was quoted in the Spanish newspaper “La Vanguardia” as saying he could no longer hold him back. It would not be the first time that the Andic family chose this walking route.
Shortly before 5 p.m., Toni Ruiz of the Mango Group confirmed the death: “Isak was a role model for all of us. He dedicated his life to the Mango Project and left an indelible mark through his strategic vision, his inspiring leadership and his unwavering dedication to the values he himself instilled in our company.”
Mango is one of the largest clothing companies in Europe. The chain has almost 2,800 stores worldwide and approximately 15,500 employees. Andic founded the first store in Barcelona in 1984, together with his older brother Nahman. The family emigrated from Istanbul to Spain in 1969.
