Katjes International Acquires Majority Stake in Bogner Group

Katjes International GmbH & Co. KG has announced the acquisition of a 60% stake in the Bogner Group, a leading family-owned luxury apparel brand in Germany. The Bogner family will retain a 40% share. This strategic move allows Katjes to strengthen its brand portfolio by entering the luxury goods segment.

The acquisition, executed through Katjes Quiet Luxury, a subsidiary of Katjes International, is set to close in September 2025, pending approval from the German antitrust authorities. The Bogner Group, known for its premium sports and leisurewear, reported nearly EUR 200 million in net sales and profitability in the financial year 2024/25.

Katjes International, with successes in the personal care segment and now a foothold in luxury goods, continues to expand its reach in the European consumer goods market. The company considers leveraging its existing corporate bond to finance the purchase.
