Klingel trademark undergoes a shift in ownership
In a significant move, the "Vamos" shoe brand, renowned for its healthy footwear, has joined forces with the multichannel retailer, Weltbild D2C Group. This partnership, announced in January 2024, marks a strengthened commitment of Weltbild in the health segment and a strategic expansion of their footwear portfolio.
The acquisition of the Vamos brand from the Klingel Group was unanimously approved by the creditors' committee. The transaction, which took place on January 31, 2024, has set Vamos on a path of growth and transition under its new ownership.
With this acquisition, Weltbild D2C Group has boosted Vamos' direct-to-consumer (D2C) presence, providing the brand with increased resources and a robust distribution network. This strategic realignment is expected to benefit Vamos in the long run.
The partnership between Vamos and Weltbild is not the only move by the retailer to bolster its footwear offerings. The company also aims to expand its own brand "Orbisana" with the shoes from Vamos. This synergy between the two brands has accelerated Orbisana's expansion plans, leading to more rapid growth, broader distribution, and improved product offerings.
As for the Klingel brand, negotiations for the sale of further brands from the group are progressing positively, according to Klingel CEO Cord Henrik Schmidt. This acquisition of Vamos by Weltbild D2C Group is another successful brand transaction in the ongoing self-administration proceedings for Klingel.
However, it remains uncertain whether this partnership between Vamos and Weltbild is exclusive or not. The specific terms of the partnership are not disclosed, and it is also unclear how this partnership will impact the sales of Vamos shoes.
