GENERAL

 

OTTO International (Hong Kong) Ltd. is a private limited company wholly‑owned by OTTO International GmbH [OTTO International] which is a Germany-based firm.  In turn, the holding company of OTTO International is OTTO (GmbH & Co. KG) [OTTO Group].

The subject is the management and service and finance holding arm in the Asia Pacific for OTTO International buying offices and associated companies.  Currently, the subject is handling the following commodities: audio products (general), audio tapes, video tapes, cameras, games/premiums, electronic toys, consumer electronics, etc.

The OTTO Group’s activities are structured into three business segments – Multichannel Retail, Financial Services, and Services.  OTTO Group is now one of the leading internationally active trading and services groups, comprising about 123 companies and approximately 55,000 employees in 19 countries.  The OTTO Group is a global network in which the separate activities of retail sales, financial services, other services and wholesale trading are optimally coordinated in the interest of better serving our customers.  Today’s OTTO Group encompasses a large number of companies operating in the major economic zones of the world.  All these companies are linked by the common activity of trading and related services, in their different product lines, target groups and distribution channels.  The main ingredient of the self-image of all the OTTO Group companies is a joint passion for success.  This self-image is reflected in the corporate vision of OTTO Group.

·         Retail Trade
The OTTO Group operates in Europe, North America and Asia.  The traditional core business of mail-order sales has long been complemented by retail store sales and e-commerce activities.  OTTO’s multichannel distribution strategy is a key contributing factor to the Group’s dominant market position.  After Amazon, OTTO is the world’s second-largest Internet retailer.  And OTTO continues to develop innovative new ways to shop, such as m-commerce and TV shopping.

·         Finance
The financial services offered by the financial institutions of the OTTO Group are aimed primarily at consumers.  As an example, Hanseatic Bank provides tailored financial services, including credit and deposit products, to this target group.  Moreover , OTTO’s EOS Group is among the leading European providers of financial services.  And the 3-Suisses subsidiary Cofidis offers tailored financial services in six countries of Europe.

·         Services
The ability to deliver packages to consumers everywhere under optimal conditions is a core competence of the OTTO Group.  In this business, the Hermes Logistics Group has grown into one of Germany’s leading package delivery services for consumer households  Another core competence consists of travel-related services.  The Group’s activities in this area are advantageously consolidated under the holding company OTTO Freizeit und Touristik [OFT].

OTTO Group is a significant mail order firm of the world.  It sells products ranging from clothing to appliances to sporting goods.  OTTO Group also owns a majority stake in the Crate & Barrel housewares chain, and it owns travel agencies in Germany.  OTTO Group controls Actebis Holding, which distributes computers in Europe.  OTTO Group does about 90% of its business in Europe, Japan, and the United States.  The family of chairman Michael Otto owns the majority of OTTO Group and separately controls US catalogue company Spiegel.

In FY 2010/11, the sales of the Group amounted to €11,403.9 million, grew by 12.6% as compared with €10,132.0 million in FY 2009/10.  Group profit for the year was €181.1 million, decreased by 14.2% as compared with €211.0 million in FY 2009/10.

The subject is fully supported by its holding company and ultimate holding company.  History in Hong Kong is over thirty-two years.

On the whole, in view of the parentage of the subject, consider it good for normal business engagements.
