Mandarin Capital Partners, Miroglio ink 40m-euro deal
CHINA'S Mandarin Capital Partners has signed a deal with an Italian textile group, Miroglio, to invest about 40 million euros in the fashion giant's business in the world's largest market.
The deal is part of a US$3.2 billion cooperation package signed by the two countries in the presence of Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi and Chinese Vice President Xi Jinping last week.
The package also includes a US$1 billion deal between Telecom Italia and China's Huawei Technologies.
The deal with Miroglio marks the first investment by a Chinese private equity firm in the fashion industry and aims to improve the world's perception of Chinese fashion brands, Gao Zhen, a Mandarin partner, told Caijing Magazine this morning.
Miroglio, Italy's second largest fashion group, has 58 companies around the world with about 12,000 employees in more than 2,000 outlets in 36 countries.
Last year, the company reported a gross revenue of 1 billion euros while its Chinese joint venture with Zhejiang Elegant Prosper Garment Co posted a 10-fold growth over 2004 when it was founded.
Motivi, a brand under Moroglio and targeting at the same group of consumers as Zara, is expected to open 100 and more outlets in China in next three years.
Prospects for these fashion brands are considered promising by investors. Morgan Stanley said in a report that Zara's profit for each share is expected to grow 10.9 percent every year until 2014.
Mandarin Capital Partners, the largest Chinese-Italian private equity fund, is established by China Development Bank, the Export-Import Bank of China, and San Paolo IMI.
By December 28, 2007, the fund had accumulated 327.75 million euros and has so far invested in eight projects, seven in Italy, according to information on Mandarin's website.
