Armani, la un an după moartea fondatorului: Grupul pregăteşte vânzarea unei participaţii, iar LVMH, L'Oréal şi EssilorLuxottica sunt potenţiali investitori

One year after Giorgio Armani's death, the fashion house faces a critical period as it prepares to sell a 15% stake while maintaining the founder's identity. Armani's will mandates this sale within 12-18 months, with potential buyers including LVMH and EssilorLuxottica. Sales have declined, prompting CEO Giuseppe Marsocci to develop a new business plan focused on the founder's vision. The company is valued at 5-7 billion euros, and while the sale process is set to accelerate, there are no immediate pressures to finalize a deal. L'Oréal and EssilorLuxottica are interested in protecting their long-term contracts with Armani, while LVMH's investment considerations are complicated by potential public listing plans.
