Katjes International Acquires 27% Stake in Missoni

Katjes International GmbH & Co. KG has announced the acquisition of approximately 27% of Missoni S.p.A. The deal involves a call option on majority shareholder FSI's shares, positioning Katjes for potential majority control. Expected to close in the second quarter of 2026, the transaction requires antitrust approval.

This purchase supports Katjes Quiet Luxury, a subsidiary of Katjes International, in expanding its portfolio following the recent acquisition of Bogner. Missoni, an Italian luxury brand, is celebrated for its distinctive zigzag patterns and is a prominent player in swimwear, ready-to-wear, and lifestyle products.

Tobias Bachmüller, Katjes Managing Shareholder, described Missoni as an iconic brand due to its strong heritage and international reputation. The acquisition, funded largely through internal resources and a €15 million increase in corporate bonds, is expected to boost Katjes’ 2025 financial performance significantly.
