About Binda Group
Binda Group is an Italian company with a rich history dating back to 1906 when it was founded by Innocente Binda. The company has since grown to become a global player in the watch, jewelry, and leather industries.
Binda Group owns subsidiaries in eight countries and operates three main business units: watches, jewelry, and leather. This diversification has enabled the company to cater to a wide range of customers and stay competitive in the market.
One of the company's key strategies is to produce and distribute its own brands, including several well-known companies. This approach has helped Binda Group establish a strong presence in the market and build a loyal customer base.
Binda Group also licenses popular brands such as Dolce & Gabbana, Moschino, and Nike to create exclusive products like D&G Time and D&G Jewels. These collaborations have helped the company tap into new markets and increase its brand visibility.
The company's headquarters is located in Milan, Italy, and it operates as a limited liability company. Binda Group's commitment to quality and innovation has enabled it to establish itself as a leading player in the industry.

Relationship with Geneva Watch Group
The Binda Group has a significant relationship with Geneva Watch Group, which it acquired through a merger. This acquisition allows Binda Group to further strengthen its international presence and share competencies with a successful U.S. company.
Geneva Watch Group CEO Jeff Gregg will remain in his post, reporting to Binda Group managing director Gianni Pieraccioni. This suggests a collaborative approach to the merger.
The combined group now expects sales in the U.S. in 2008 in excess of $200 million, or 30 percent of total worldwide business. This is a significant increase from Geneva's previous sales of around $192 million in 2008.

Geneva Watch Group currently generates 95 percent of its revenues from the U.S., while Binda Group has budgeted for 5 percent of sales from the U.S. this year. This highlights the complementary nature of the two companies.
The merger provides economies of scale upstream in sourcing and production, with Geneva operating a 1,500-employee-strong manufacturing unit in China for the last 10 years. This will likely lead to cost savings and improved efficiency for the combined group.
