INDEPENDENT & GLOBAL

INDEPENDENT & GLOBAL Our entrepreneurial journey begins with visionaries

The independence of our Group allows us to pursue a true entrepreneurial spirit

Over time, our Group has diversified its activities and expanded its presence, to become after over 100 years of activity a major player in its field. Throughout this time, we have kept two special characteristics: we’ve remained an independent family business, managed for four generations by the Maus family’s vision, and we’ve continued to perpetuate the values of quality, excellence and social conscience held by our founders.

From 1998 and the takeover of Devanlay, the Group began to build a portfolio of lifestyle brands that grew gradually with the acquisition of Aigle in 2003, Gant in 2008, Lacoste in 2012, and more recently Tecnifibre in 2017.
What all these brands share is an independent vision, an ability to adapt, and the courage to transcend boundaries.

OUR PEOPLE, OUR AMBITION

We aspire to be a global leader in the lifestyle sector. We cultivate an entrepreneurial spirit to provide our brands with the resources and autonomy they need to express their full potential. Our vision

120 yearsof history

From Maus Frere in 1902
to MF brands in 2020
In the early 20th century, the Maus brothers’ vision came to life. They founded the Group that would become 120 years later the roster of global ​lifestyle brands brought together under MF Brands.
Aigle, the French footwear and textile company founded in 1853 is acquired by the Group. The brand will find powerful means to grow on many levels, with its rubber boot becoming iconic worldwide.
Created in 1949, the American-Swedish shirtmaking brand GANT emblematic of the Ivy-league look, is acquired in 2008, shortly after becoming a public company in the spring of 2006.
The iconic crocodile brand, founded in 1933 by tennisman René Lacoste, is fully acquired by Maus frères, which already held 35 percent of Lacoste capital via its subsidiary Devanlay.
5 years after Lacoste, the group takes on Tecnifibre, a specialised sports brand founded in 1979. Their unique expertise has come to be internationally recognized in the world of squash and tennis.
2021
Thierry Guibert becomes CEO of the Group following Didier Maus’s 28 years of leadership. He appoints Alexandre Nodale as Deputy CEO and Gaelle Petit Perrin as Chief Human Resources Office.
