About Company

Trent

The Company was originally incorporated as trentltd on December 5, 1952. Lakme was in the business of manufacturing, sale and export of cosmetics, toiletries and perfumery products. In 1998, Lakme decided to divest from its cosmetics business and decided to pursue the field of apparel retailing, given the absence of established brands in most categories. It was decided that Lakme would establish a strong presence in the apparel and soft goods retailing market by opening a chain of departmental stores across the country.

Towards this end, in March 1998, trentltd acquired Littlewoods International (India) Private ("LIIPL") from Littlewoods International , U.K. LIIPL was in the business of retailing of readymade garments and related merchandise. In parallel, with effect from January 1, 1998, Lakme Exports , a subsidiary of Lakme, was amalgamated with LIIPL and the merged entity was named as Trent . Subsequently, with effect from July 1, 1998, Trent was amalgamated with Lakme, and the name of Lakme was changed to Trent .
