The transaction is due to close in the second quarter of 2019 and is intended to allow the company to capitalise on what it sees as the significant growth opportunity by leveraging its well-established infrastructure, leadership expertise and strong brand momentum in the region.

“We are looking forward to executing a more fully integrated strategy for the Greater China market in coordination with our directly operated mainland China business,” explains Daniel Grieder, chief executive officer of Tommy Hilfiger Global.

“This transaction should allow us to further realise the growth opportunities that exist for the Tommy Hilfiger brand by enabling the introduction of a wider range of product lines, and offering consumers a more immersive and elevated brand experience. Building on our strong existing regional foundation, we plan to accelerate the growth of the Tommy Hilfiger business and invest further in driving the expansion of the brand.”
