Woolrich International has announced the change of majority ownership from the ownership group led by Cristina Calori to L-GAM. A binding agreement on the sale has been reached by both parties.
The agreement with L-GAM will give the international development of Woolrich a further boost. Key to the company’s growth plans are further investments in Europe, North America and Japan, as well as plans to enter China.
Established in 1830, Woolrich is America’s oldest outdoor clothing brand and one of the world’s leading designers of outdoor lifestyle apparel. Among the brand’s symbols and iconic products are the buffalo check flannel, first launched by Woolrich in 1850, and the original Woolrich Arctic Parka, first introduced in 1972.
