Today, NN07 has sales in more than 40 countries with c. 75% originating from Scandinavia and c. 25% predominantly from UK, Germany, Benelux and USA.

Anders Cleemann (CEO of Muuto and former CEO of Peak Performance) will continue as a director.

“With its uncompromising focus on bringing high-quality premium menswear with a strong value proposition to the market, NN07 is well-positioned to continue its strong profitable growth journey. We have good experience from investing in the premium menswear sector, for example through our investment in the premium shirt company Eton, and we are pleased that NN07 has chosen Litorina as its partner. We are very impressed with the team at NN07 and what they have accomplished. The strong relationship NN07 has with strategic resellers constitutes a solid foundation for continued international expansion. Furthermore, NN07 has a loyal customer base due to its focus on providing quality products, leading to interesting opportunities in the digital arena”, says Gustav Thott, Partner at Litorina.
