Gennevilliers, France

Holding Trophy is one of the European leaders for motocycle accessories (Bagster trade mark) and motocycle rider equipement (Bering, Segura, BLH trade marks). Bering (jackets and accessories) is the leading brand in France with a market share of nearly 25 %. Holding Trophy designs and distributes in France (76 % of sale) and in Europe (26 %) via wholesalers, agents or independent distributor networks. Manufacturing is outsourced in Asia. Since its creation in 1993, Holding Trophy increased its turnover by broadening its range of products and its distribution networks, through internal and external growth (acquisition of Segura in 2004 and Bagster in 2006), to reach 38 million euros of sales in 2008. Holding Trophy will benefit from the development of the scooter market (16 % growth in France over the period 2005/2008) and increased need of safety equipment by addressing the segments with specific product ranges . The commercial synergies between the brands, export markets and the development of B to B sales represent other subjects of focus.
