Company structure
In May 2017 the company announced that it was changing legal form. From 1 June 2017, Candice Cooper AG, based in Zug, Switzerland, owns the brand and all its patents. Ivan Merlini was appointed managing director.
Siegel gave the reason as the wish to serve new growth markets, for example in Asia, and said the people involved would stay the same.

Sales in Germany are handled by the agency Göppert, according to the 2017 report.
Why it matters
The brand is an example of a small footwear label that moved to a Swiss stock corporation structure to support international expansion, with sales in Germany run through an agency rather than directly. Readers should note that the source is a 2017 report, so later changes to management or ownership are not covered here.
