The team at Focus are thrilled to announce our latest signing of Reebok Outerwear design, source and distribution license across the UK and Europe. The addition of Reebok to the Focus Brands portfolio marks the expansion of the company’s existing relationship with Authentic Brands Group. Focus Brands will serve as Reebok’s exclusive brand licensing partner in the UK and Europe for all aspects of design, sourcing, marketing, and distribution across its outerwear category, which covers a wide range of products for men, women and kids, including outdoor jackets, soft shell, bonded fleeces and padded jackets. A message from Ray Evans, CEO of Focus Brands, “Our team has been working closely with Authentic Brands Group for the past three years as the brand licensing partner for Nautica in the UK and Europe. This agreement with Reebok is an exciting opportunity to further strengthen our relationship with the Authentic team, and we are looking forward to bolstering Reebok’s presence in the outerwear category.” This milestone not only expands Focus Brands' collaboration with Authentic Brands but also marks a significant achievement for Hela Apparel Holdings since its acquisition of Focus Brands earlier this year. The partnership aligns with the Hela Group’s strategic vision to enhance Focus Brands into a premier global brand management company, leveraging advanced manufacturing solutions.
