It owns the brands Yves Saint Laurent, Gucci, Balenciaga, Bottega Veneta, Creed, Maui Jim, and Alexander McQueen. The timber-trading company Pinault S.A. was founded in 1962, by François Pinault. After the company was quoted on Euronext Paris in 1988, it became the retail conglomerate Pinault-Printemps-Redoute in 1994. The luxury group was rebranded Kering in 2013. It has been a constituent of the CAC 40 since 1995. François-Henri Pinault has been President and CEO of Kering since 2005. In June 2025, Luca de Meo was appointed CEO starting in September 2025, replacing François-Henri Pinault who will remain Chairman of the group. In 2024, the group's revenue reached €17.2 billion. From 2022 onwards Kering has been buffeted by a series of financial pressures, including a quadrupling of debt to 10.5 billion euros in 2024, revenue falling 4% in 2023, followed by a 12% drop in 2024, mainly driven by plunging revenues at Gucci.
