Fondée aux Etats-Unis en 1948 par quatre frères, Haddad Brands est une entreprise familiale privée, qui depuis 70 ans s’est développée depuis New-York, jusqu’à prendre sa dimension internationale actuelle. Son expérience, ses équipes talentueuses à travers le monde, ainsi que les marques prestigieuses qu’elle représente, ont fait d’elle un des leaders du secteur des vêtements pour enfants dans le monde .
En 2017, Haddad Brands Europe, est née quant à elle de la rencontre des dirigeants de Haddad Brands US et de quatre entrepreneurs français, spécialistes de vêtements sous licences, connaissant parfaitement le marché européen .
Haddad Brands Europe, founded 6 years ago, is specialized in the Europe-wide distribution of children's textiles under exclusive licenses (Nike, Levi's, Converse, Jordan, Polo Ralph Lauren...).
The company has experienced incredible growth since its creation, and already has over 400 employees across Europe .
We distribute our products both wholesale, with major specialist and multi-brand manufacturers, and retail, via our corners in department stores.
So if you're buying children's clothing (0-7 years for Nike and 0-16 years for Levi's Converse and Jordan), whether in a boutique or online, in France, Romania or any other European country, the product you're holding comes from us even if you're buying it in a Nike or Levi's boutique!
To support our growth, we are looking to hire a Cluster Sales Manager BENELUX in remote.
