Investor Details Founded: 1950
Moomin Characters Oy is the official copyright holder of all Moomin characters, managing the global licensing and merchandising rights. The company was founded in the 1950s by Tove Jansson and her brother Lars Jansson to oversee the Moomin brand, which has become one of Finland's most significant exports with a worldwide fan base. The company is still run by family members, with Rights and Brands serving as the worldwide licensing agent.
The company's investment strategy focuses on expanding the Moomin brand through strategic partnerships and investments. Notably, in November 2021, Moomin Characters Oy Ltd's retail arm, All Things Commerce Helsinki Oy, made a strategic investment in Euroeat Oy, the exclusive e-commerce partner for Moomin products in mainland China. This investment aimed to strengthen the brand's presence in the Chinese market by enhancing its e-commerce capabilities. Additionally, in December 2022, Moomin Characters Oy Ltd partnered with Ting AS to open official Moomin Shops in Norway, further expanding its retail footprint in the Nordic region.
Moomin Characters Oy's investment philosophy centers on collaborations that align with the brand's values and contribute to its global expansion. By investing in strategic partnerships and ventures, the company seeks to enhance the Moomin brand's reach and impact across various markets, ensuring its continued growth and relevance in the global entertainment and consumer goods sectors.
