Brenninkmeijer family

Brenninkmeijer (German: Brenninkmeyer) is a Roman Catholic Dutch, German and Swiss family of manufacturers, which owns an international chain of clothing stores and investment businesses. Originally the family came from Tecklenburger Land (Westphalia) in Germany, selling linen in Friesland in the Netherlands. In 1841, two members of the family founded C&A company in Sneek. Their descendants discovered the potential of the stock of produced ready-made garment. The family owns Cofra Holding AG, based in Switzerland. Through Cofra it owns and manages businesses in private equity (Bregal Investments), real estate (Redevco), asset management (Anthos Fund & Asset Management) and retail (C&A), which together manage more than €35 billion in assets. Since the 2010s, the family has begun opening these businesses to outside investors.
