Moncler (BIT: MONC) is a publicly listed company headquartered in Milan, Italy that owns 2 consumer brands, and has 1 recorded transaction.[1]
Moncler was founded in the French Alps in 1952 making quilted jackets for factory workers, then for mountaineers, and was nearly bankrupt by 2003 before an Italian entrepreneur bought it and repositioned it as luxury outerwear at several times the price.
Moncler acquired Stone Island in a deal valuing it at about €1.15 billion, bringing together two Italian outerwear brands with very different origins: one alpine and luxury, the other technical and adopted by British football subculture.
