Douglas Holding AG
 PROFILE
Like perfume that lingers on skin, success stays on the body of Douglas Holding, a leading European lifestyle brands retailer. Its perfumery business (fragrances, skin care, and cosmetics) brings in more than 50% of sales. The company, which has nearly 80% of its sales in Germany, also operates jewelry stores (Christ, Gold Meister), women's and men's clothing (Appelrath-Cüpper, Pohland, and BiBA), sporting goods stores (Sport Voswinkel), bookstores (Phönix, Montanus), and a sweets retailer (Hussel). Douglas Holding entered e-commerce in 1999 through an investment in online bookseller buch.de; it also launched cosmetics and jewelry Web sites in 2000. Eklöh Group owns 35% of Douglas Holding.
