‘Hunkemöller lingerie brand possible in the shop window’ | Financial

According to the sources, Carlyle Group is working on the sale, which is scheduled for next year. Final decisions have not yet been taken, the insiders said. Recently, Hunkemöller sat around the table with his house banks, because the corona crisis raised doubts about continuity due to the possible collapse in sales figures.

Carlyle Group bought Hunkemöller in 2016 from PAI Partners. Plans from 2018 to go public were canceled as quickly as they were rigged.

Hunkemöller says it has more than 940 stores spread across Western Europe. Carlyle invested heavily in online sales and in buying out franchisees from Hunkemöller.

Neither the retailer, Carlyle, nor JP Morgan were able to respond directly to the news on Monday.
