Kering traces its origins to 1963, when François Pinault established a timber-trading business in France. The company later expanded into retail and luxury goods, including through the acquisition of a controlling interest in Gucci in 1999. Formerly known as PPR, the group adopted the name Kering in 2013 to reflect its focus on luxury and lifestyle brands. François-Henri Pinault serves as chairman of the board, while Luca de Meo became chief executive officer in 2025.
