About
Kering S.A. is a Paris, France-based global luxury goods group — publicly traded on Euronext Paris (EPA: KER) as a CAC 40 component — owning and operating a portfolio of iconic luxury fashion, leather goods, jewelry, and eyewear houses including Gucci, Saint Laurent, Bottega Veneta, Balenciaga, Alexander McQueen, Brioni, Boucheron, Pomellato, DoDo, Qeelin, and Kering Eyewear through approximately 47,000 employees and 1,813 directly operated stores worldwide. Founded in 1962 by François Pinault as a timber and building materials trading company, Kering (formerly Pinault-Printemps-Redoute, then PPR) transformed into a luxury group through landmark acquisitions: Gucci Group in 1999 ($3 billion, acquiring Gucci, Saint Laurent, Bottega Veneta, Balenciaga, and Alexander McQueen), rebranding from PPR to Kering in 2013 to signal the luxury focus. François-Henri Pinault (François's son) served as Chairman and CEO for nearly two decades before Luca de Meo was appointed CEO in September 2025 — with François-Henri remaining as Executive Chairman. Kering generates approximately €17-20 billion in annual revenue, with Gucci historically accounting for approximately 50% of group revenue.
