Spain's Cortefiel has something for everyone. Its five main store brands -- Cortefiel, Pedro del Hierro, Springfield, Women'secret, and Milano -- target young men, older men, young women, cost-conscious women, and high-end clothing. Cortefiel operates more than 1,400 stores, mostly under the Cortefiel and Springfield banners. Although the retailer operates in about 50 countries, Spain is home to more than half of the group's stores. It owns its European stores and franchises locations in Asia, the Americas, and the Middle East. The Hinojosa family had controlled Cortefiel before CVC, PAI Partners, and Permira acquired more than 86% of it in 2005.
