Expanding in China

Sisley, known for effectiveness of its natural ingredients products and cutting-edge technology behind the formula, has recorded solid growth in China over the last three years despite the pandemic.

Its annual sales revenue growth reached 70 percent year-on-year over the last few years. Its development plans including the Maison Sisley Shanghai are in progress steadily, according to d'Ornano.

"Even during the difficult period (due to the COVID-19), we develop in China in a quite strong way," said d'Ornano. "We have great support from both our landlord and the government who supported us since we entered China."

Sisley also recorded strong growth in other parts of the world and is one of the companies to suffer less in Europe and in the United States, d'Ornano said.

"We learned that unexpected things can happen, but we also learned that a team which is strong and close can fight back and do a good job," said d'Ornano.
