The Birkenstock Turnaround

Birkenstock, a 250-year-old brand, underwent a successful turnaround led by CEO Oliver Reichert, an outside consultant. The company streamlined its corporate structure, launched an e-commerce platform, and introduced new product lines like EVA rubber sandals. Its success attracted the attention of LVMH, and Birkenstock was acquired by Elle Catterton, a private equity company backed by Bernard Arnault. Now, Birkenstock is seeking to go public with a target valuation of $10 billion. The brand's unique value proposition and potential for collaborations with other luxury brands make it an attractive investment opportunity.
