A rapidly growing Belgian fashion house with a brand for each target group
Fashion and quality are a solid basis for success – as demonstrated by FNG´s growth figures. The young Belgian fashion house has in the meantime developed – with Fred & Ginger, CKS, Van Hassels, Baker Bridge and Claudia Sträter – 5 brands that are sold internationally in more than 100 of their own concept stores, shop-in-shop corners and over 1000 multi-brand boutiques.
FNG creates and distributes fashion brands for women and children
The FNG brands have a distinct, recognisable identity and a strong “value-for-money” proposition. At the basis of each collection is a top team of house stylists. With great passion, professional knowledge and creativity, they design pieces of clothing that fit perfectly within the strategic lines and the DNA of their brand.
FNG women´s brands: CKS, Van Hassels, Expresso, Baker Bridge, Claudia Sträter
Each woman is unique. Personality, taste, life-world, budget and age determine her style. FNG therefore offers different brands for women from 20 to 50+, with each of them addressing a clear target group.
FNG children´s brands: Fred & Ginger, Van Hassels, CKS, Baker Bridge
Fashion for children is so much more than practical or fun. FNG offers a wide range of brand clothing, suiting everyone´s taste and budget, for babies, toddlers, kindergartners, kids and teenagers up to age 18.
The FNG motto: a rational management of emotional products
At the end of 2003, FNG was founded by 3 young civil engineers. Their unique, individual management vision combined a no-nonsense commercial spirit with strong ambitions for growth, respect, humour and confidence. And it worked: over a period of 10 years, FNG grew from 3 to more than 800 employees. The FNG group has been quoted on the Euronext Brussels stock exchange since 2008. In 2013 the turnover was 130 million euros with an operating cash flow of more than 17%.
Future plans: further growth in the Benelux and new markets
FNG has room and resources for investment in the existing brand portfolio and/or for new brands.Today FNG focuses the Benelux market, but also sees opportunities to further develop its multi-brand strategy in the future in France, Germany and even new markets such as Russia and China.
FNG invests in people, shops and a new head office for continued growth.
In order to realise these ambitions, FNG continuously invests in people and other resources. The group opens about 20 new shops each year and has started the construction of its new head office in Mechelen.
