M&A
Lundgrens has assisted Ganni in the sale of 51 % of the shares in Ganni A/S to L Catterton – a strategic investment in Ganni to further build Ganni’s presence, foundation and e-commerce platform globally, “Ganni has already established its strong international appeal, as demonstrated by its retail presence in 20 countries today,” according to Eduardo Velasco, partner at L Catterton, stated in Business Off Fashion.

According to Nicolaj Reffstrup, CEO of Ganni, the "...partnering with L Catterton is a hugely exciting opportunity for us to further build on the solid foundations that were laid since 2009. This comes exactly at the right time for Ganni and will drive us forward in the next few years as we’ll get access to the knowledge and network of both L Catterton and LVMH. Ganni attracted a lot of interest from various investment firms, but we chose L Catterton as we felt we share the same vision for the brand. We firmly believe that L Catterton will strengthen our business with their unparalleled expertise in brand building and their deep understanding of how a global fashion brand operates.”
