History
IC Group was founded as IC Companys in 2001 through the merger of InWear Group A/S and Carli Gry International A/S. InWear had been founded by Niels Martinsen in 1973. Carly Gry traced its history back to 1940 when Jørgen and Carli Gry opened a small shop in Copenhagen. In 1973, the company launched the clothing brand Jackpot. In 2002, IC Group acquired the brand Saint Tropez and launched the brands O by Isabell Kristensen (since 2006: Soaked in Luxury) and Designers Remix Collection. In 2003, the company acquired the brand Tiger of Sweden and launched the brand By Malene Birger as a joint-venture with the designer Malene Birger.[2] In 2013, IC Group sold its two brands Jackpot and Cottonfield to Coop Danmark.[3] InWear, Matinique, Part Two and Soaked in Luxury were sold in 2014.[4] The company subsequently changed its name to IC Group.[1] In June 2018, Peak Performance was sold to Amer Sports Corporation[5]
