Pinault family

The Pinault family, one of France's wealthiest, is the owner of Groupe Artemis, a holding company with a diverse portfolio of investments. They are currently newsworthy due to significant activity within their portfolio companies. Recently, their Groupe Artemis sold a 29% stake in the German sportswear brand Puma to Anta Sports, a Chinese sportswear firm, for €1.5 billion (US$1.8 billion). This deal is significant as it marks a major strategic move for Anta Sports in its globalization efforts. Separately, Courrèges, a French fashion house also associated with the Pinault family (though the article doesn't explicitly state ownership, it implies a connection), appointed Drew Henry as its new artistic director following the departure of Nicolas Di Felice. These events highlight the Pinault family's continued influence and activity in both the luxury fashion and sportswear industries.
