    DKSH adds 3 brands in path to double Thai luxury

    Market expansion service provider DKSH Thailand has announced plans to double the scale of its Thai luxury and lifestyle business within two years. The firm has picked up three international brands this year, with another Italian lifestyle brand to be added to its portfolio next year.

    Included in the expansion is a THB30 million (US$913,800) investment in a new 200sqm flagship Bally store in Thailand, opening at Iconsiam on Friday (November 9).

    DKSH regional VP of luxury and lifestyle business Franck Giacobini said luxury and lifestyle is picking up again and sales are strong.

    “DKSH’s luxury and lifestyle business in Thailand will strengthen in the next few years because the country has a young population with high spending power.”

    He added that DKSH will allocate a huge investment to the Thai market, considering the country’s high-end retail complexes and strong tourism.

    President of DKSH Thailand Douglas Humphrey added: “DKSH has been in Thailand for over a century. Our consumer product business in Thailand is the biggest market for the DKSH network globally. We will continue to invest here in terms of people, capability and supply chain in the coming years.”

  • Missha Hong Kong makes return

    Missha Hong Kong makes return

    Korean cosmetics retailer Missha is returning to Hong Kong.

    Some 20 Missha Hong Kong stores were shuttered around New Year’s Eve this year when the previous local retail partner collapsed.

    Now Missha has a new partner – DKSH (DiethelmKellerSiberHegner) – which will apparently help it build a new network.

    Missha entered Hong Kong in 2004, four years after its launch in Korea. But during the last two years it has faced tough competition from new rival brands, including Etude House and Nature Republic.

    Missha’s parent Able C&C said on Tuesday it had signed a contract with Swiss based DKSH Hong Kong giving it exclusive rights to promote Missha in the territory.

    The first two stores quietly opened on June 30 ahead of the formal announcement – counters in DKSH duty free stores in Causeway Bay and Tsim Sha Tsui.

    The following day a standalone store opened inside Yuen Long Plaza.

    DKSH has reached an agreement with Mannings to sell the products through 200 stores by the end of July and in 300 by the end of next year.
