All-Clad, Lagostina et Krups, positioned in <strong>the</strong> top quartiles of <strong>the</strong> market<br />

Our extensive brand portfolio represents a real asset for <strong>the</strong> Group. Our multi-brand strategy is a key<br />

part of our market policy. Each of our 24 brands plays a defined role in developing our product offer.<br />

A UNIQUE BRAND<br />

ARCHITECTURE<br />

Six international brands<br />

These brands ensure both global and local presence. They are above all a means of<br />

differentiating products through a distinct identity and set of values. Their complementary nature allows<br />

<strong>the</strong>m to control market positioning, guide product development and design and personalise<br />

communication. They are an ideal tool for adding value to our offer and responding to consumers’<br />

multiple expectations and requirements. Apart from <strong>the</strong> values that make up <strong>the</strong>ir individual identity,<br />

<strong>the</strong> brands also champion <strong>the</strong> Group's commitment to eco-responsibility. They are very reassuring in<br />

markets where <strong>the</strong> offer can sometimes be commonplace.<br />

Local reference brands<br />

The influencing power of <strong>the</strong>se brands, though more geographically limited, is equally strong.<br />

They have generally been established locally for a long time. Well-known and with a strong image, <strong>the</strong>y<br />

are widely associated with one or more product domains representative of <strong>the</strong>ir expertise. With a local<br />

reference, most of <strong>the</strong>m are market leaders or leaders in <strong>the</strong>ir sector. These 18 brands are present across<br />

markets in different continents. Our latest acquisitions include brands from new economies: Imusa in<br />

Colombia (as well as Umco, an entry-level brand), specialist in cookware and recently also in kitchen<br />

electrics; AsiaVina, well known in Vietnam for its fans and Maharaja Whiteline, which is popular in India<br />

for its small electrical appliances.<br />
