In 1997, Marcel Frydman decided to adopt the Marionnaud brand and list the company on the stock exchange. The capital from the IPO was invested in further expansion. In 2001, the company entered Austria with the takeover of 52 Impo and 35 Holzer perfumeries. In 2005, Marionnaud was taken over by AS Watson. Shops in Italy, Spain, Morocco and Switzerland are also financed through the Austrian branch. In 2013 and 2014, Marionnaud therefore posted losses in Austria.
