Kering is a publicly listed company headquartered in Paris, France, founded in 1963.
Kering began in 1963 as a timber business founded by François Pinault, became the retail group Pinault-Printemps-Redoute, and transformed into a luxury group, taking the Kering name in 2013. The Pinault family holding Artémis controls it.
Brandtree records a controlling owner for 210 brands that began in Italy. 77 of them (37%) are now controlled by a company headquartered in another country, Valentino among them.
Kering acquired thirty per cent of Valentino from the Qatari fund Mayhoola for €1.7 billion, with an agreement that could take it to full ownership by 2028. It is a minority stake, so Kering does not control Valentino, and the brand record here says so.
No single company recorded here owns Valentino outright. Kering has held a 30% stake since 2023.
No. A 30% holding does not give control, so Kering shares ownership with others.
Valentino originated in Italy in 1960, in Rome.
