Transfer of operational, jewellery merchandising, sales and marketing management

Tiffany & Co. announced it has signed a joint venture agreement with Damas Jewellery. The company is incorporated under the laws of Dubai, relating to the operation of its U.A.E-based boutiques.

The partnership will see the transfer of operational, merchandising and sales & marketing management for the TIFFANY & CO. brand in the U.A.E. from Damas Jewellery to Tiffany. Until now, Tiffany has sold merchandise, on a wholesale basis to Damas which operated the TIFFANY & CO. stores.

Under the joint venture, the new entity will be incorporated in the U.A.E as TCO Damas Associates L.L.C.

“This restructuring of our retail presence in the U.A.E. through this joint venture with Damas allows us, for the first time, to wholly manage Tiffany’s operational activities. The agreement is a significant milestone during the 175th anniversary year of Tiffany & Co. It underscores the importance of the U.A.E. market to our global expansion strategy and highlights our optimism about the long-term growth potential we see throughout the Middle East,” said Mr. Laurent Cathala, Tiffany’s Vice President of Emerging Markets.

Tiffany also announced the appointment of Stephane de Palmas as General Manager of the new U.A.E. retail operation. Mr. de Palmas, 46, will be responsible for the overall management of the TIFFANY & CO. stores in Dubai and Abu Dhabi.

  1. For example, the fake cheap tiffany jewelry.is produced at a very low cost, while sold with
    the price of real tiffany jewelry. Of course, more difficult to locate minimal version items will
    charge much more.
