Richemont Rumoured To Be In Dealings With Rodenstock – 3/2/10


The rumours about Richemont’s interest in Rodenstock, a Munich-based eyeglass-frames maker, seem to be true, if you believe an unconfirmed report by Bloomberg.

We briefly mentioned this rumour in the January 22 MO Down, but now we can reveal Trilantic Capital Partners, the private-equity fund backed by Johann Rupert, Chairman of Richemont, has made an offer to take control of the Rodenstock Group.

There are also claims that Richemont has offered Rodenstock a licensing deal that would permit Rodenstock to make glasses under luxury brands like Chloé and Montblanc. For more detailed information, click here.
