Lifetime Buys Mikasa

By Staff -- Gifts & Decorative Accessories, 6/9/2008 8:03:00 AM

Garden City, NY— Tabletop vendor Lifetime Brands Inc. acquired the business and certain assets of dinnerware and crystal brand Mikasa Inc. from Arc International SA. Terms of the transaction were not disclosed.

 

Arc acquired Mikasa in 2000 for about $280 million, and began seeking a buyer for the brand in June 2007.


Jeffrey Siegel, Lifetime's chairman, president and CEO, said in a statement, “We expect that the annual revenue of our wholesale tabletop business should exceed $150 million in 2009.” 


Lifetime will update its financial guidance for 2008 to include acquisition's effect when it reports company results for the three and six month periods ended June 30. The acquisition is Lifetime's first major move since the company took a stake in a Mexican housewares company in late 2007.

  • Doubletake- Stationery: Going for the Green
    The Green message was delivered loud and clear across all product categories. The stationery industry is really embracing the concept and helping to move it forward. And the best thing about the new “green”? It doesn’t look it!
  • Doubletake- Stationery: Eco Totes
    A subset of the eco message is the call to arms for consumers to use their own bags when shopping. Sturdy reusable shopping totes were much in evidence as an eco-fashion statement.
  • Doubletake-Stationery: Birds
    Gifts & Decorative Accessories previously noted the widespread presence of peacocks & peacock-related motifs on tabletop, home décor & other gift items. In stationery, it’s not just peacocks, but birds of all feathers.
