Four members of the Italian Benetton family founded the Benetton Group S.p.A. clothing company in 1965. The three brothers and one sister were all born in Treviso, Veneto, Italy.
Through Edizione Holding, a financial holding company, they control a number of other businesses including 30% of Atlantia S.p.A., an operator of nearly two-thirds of Italy's motorways, 67% of Autogrill, a chain of roadside restaurants, and investments in the hotel industry including the Hotel Monaco & Grand Canal in Venice, Italy
Benetton is present in 120 countries around the world with a strong italian character whose style, quality and passion are clearly seen in its brands: the casual United Colors of Benetton, fashion oriented Sisley and the leisurewear and streetwear brands Playlife and Killer Loop.
The Group has a total yearly production of around 150 million garments and a distribution network with 5,000 contemporary stores, mainly managed by independent partners, generating a total turnover of over 2 billion euro
