FRANKFURT, April 6 (Reuters) – German sportswear group

Adidas plans to slash the number of products it

offers by a quarter to improve its profitability, Chief

Executive Herbert Hainer told a newspaper.

“We just have too many products,” Frankfurter Allgemeine

Zeitung quoted Hainer as saying in an excerpt of an interview to

be published on Saturday. He said Adidas offers almost 47,000

different products.

Adidas aims to grow its sales to 17 billion euros ($22.21

billion) and improve its operating margin to 11 percent by 2015

as it strives to overtake market leader Nike.
