This is not business as usual. Operating in highly competitive markets while pursuing ambitious community goals is the road less travelled.

COFRA businesses operate autonomously in a spirit of engaged entrepreneurship. The fashion retail company C&A is the oldest business in the group, dating back to 1841. Redevco, a commercial real estate business with a focus on retail was founded in 1999, and Bregal Investments, a global private equity firm in 2002. For almost a century, Anthos Fund & Asset Management has provided comprehensive asset management to the family, their philanthropies and various pension funds of COFRA entities. COFRA (full name COFRA Holding AG) was established in 2001 to coordinate the global commercial activities of the family owners.

The business is geared to create true worth – lasting value for customers, commercial partners and everyone in the supply chain and a constructive, sustainable impact in society.

Learn about Family ownership None of us alone is as good as all of us together. Founded by two travelling linen merchants The founders of the company, Clemens and August, were born into a family of travelling linen merchants. They journeyed from Mettingen in Germany to Sneek in the Netherlands to sell cloth door to door, later opening their first textile warehouse and store there. Their sons continued the trend, opening their own C&A outlets in other towns, and eventually in the UK and Germany. The business still moves towards opportunity today, seeking out new markets, new ideas and new business models to fulfil its mission.
