The company was founded in the 1960s and has been run as a family-owned business until 2016, when a partnership between the founding Gjørup family and EQT VII was established. The company’s headquarter is located outside of Copenhagen, Denmark.
The company sources its products through its buying office in Hong Kong as well as in the European market through the Danish headquarter. The product offering includes important international brands and IP offerings, but also a significant share of exclusive private label and own developed products.
