RIMOWA, Global Leader of High Quality Luggage, Joins the LVMH Group
More
PARIS--LVMH Moet
Hennessy Louis Vuitton (Paris:MC.PA; OTC:LVMUY) Dieter Morszeck, grandson of the founder of RIMOWA, has chosen to
partner with the LVMH Group with a view to preserving the spirit of excellence
and the long-term vision that have inspired his family and the company's
employees for over a century.
Under the terms of the agreement, Dieter Morszeck will sell a majority
stake to the LVMH Group while continuing to hold equity in the business and
maintaining his leadership functions.
RIMOWA will then become the first German Maison of the LVMH Group.
Upon completion of the transaction, Alexandre Arnault will be appointed
co-CEO of RIMOWA.
Founded in Cologne in 1898, luggage and leather goods maker RIMOWA has
become one of the quintessential houses for innovative, high-quality luggage
over the course of the twentieth century. The business has built its reputation
designing lightweight and easy to use luggage and RIMOWA suitcases today serve
as the industry benchmark for German quality.
Since its creation by Paul Morszeck, innovation has been at the heart of
RIMOWA’s strategy. In 1937, his son Richard launched the first aluminium
suitcase available on the market. The aluminium structure comprising parallel
grooves makes the luggage instantly recognisable and has played its part in
building the reputation of RIMOWA among a sophisticated international
clientele. His son Dieter designed the first waterproof metal case in 1976,
since which time RIMOWA suitcases have become the travelling companion of
choice for the greatest filmmakers, photographers and journalists.
