5/18/2011 5:50 AM EST
The INFURN online-shop, Europe’s largest retailer of custom-made designer furniture, is proud to announce that it has joined a financially strong group of companies, as a subsidiary under the parent company INFURN HOLDINGS PLC.
INFURN´s parent company, INFURN HOLDINGS PLC, was recently listed on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange and INFURN HOLDINGS promotes the listing on its website, where investors can track the stock price and gain access to a wealth of investment information.
According to INFURN HOLDINGS PLC CEO Dennis Hoffmann, “Joining the INFURN Group has opened up an abundance of new opportunities for the INFURN online-shop. The IPO is a major milestone for INFURN HOLDINGS and its subsidiary companies. It is a vote of confidence from our investors and enables the company to pursue its plans for expansion”.
What does this mean to INFURN’s customers?
INFURN, Europe’s largest provider of reproductions of famous designer furniture from the 1950s to the 1970s, as well as self-designed furniture, is reaping the benefits of the surge in capital in the group. It will invest the additional funds in boosting its customer services. The company intends to build up its support team, introduce a system enabling it to respond faster to tickets, cut delivery times and improve general quality.
INFURN is also planning to expand its business and increase its already 29,000-strong customer base in 19 different countries, offering new items of furniture, incorporating new materials and tapping into new markets.
The subsidiary INFURN (UK) Limited, which operates INFURN’s offline stores, is soon to open its first retail stores in Mallorca, Spain and London, England. The stores give customers the opportunity to see INFURN products “in the flesh” and experience the quality of the furniture. The products can then be ordered online directly in store, as an alternative to the INFURN online-shop.
The INFURN HOLDINGS PLC group boasts worldwide business activities and has access to enormous expertise and a vast budget. The group supports its online-store INFURN in its daily business, allowing INFURN to capitalize on the skills of the other subsidiaries in the INFURN HOLDINGS PLC group, which develop, manufacture and import products, operate the retail stores and provide contacts in China, Hong Kong and England.
