Overview
U10 finds utility in making housewares. The company offers many kinds of textiles (especially table linens and draperies), other household items such as portable plastic drawer units, and decorative items for major holidays. The company focused on organic growth for its main textile lines from its founding in 1994 until 2000, when it began acquiring nearly a dozen other housewares companies. U10's brand portfolio includes Fred Olivier (linens, cushions, and kitchen accessories), Décordis (plastic bath and kitchen goods), PRA (fragrances and cosmetics), and Codico (leisure goods such as outdoor furnishings). CEO Thierry Lievre partnered with Apax in late 2007, while holding his more than 50% stake.
