New Yorker is a clothing company based in Braunschweig , which is aimed primarily at the target group of 12 to 39 year olds.
history
In 1971, Tilmar Hansen and Michael Simson opened the first New York branch as a jeans store in downtown Flensburg . Later Friedrich (Fritz) Knapp joined them, who had a jeans shop in Braunschweig. From then on the company was called SHK-Jeans GmbH. In 1990, Simson left the company and was only in contact with the company as the owner of a few properties in which there were New York branches. In 1992 the label 'Fishbone' is introduced, which consists of a women's and a men's line. Two years later, in 1994, the first foreign branch was opened in Linz, Austria. On September 1, 2001, the founder Tilmar Hansen paid off and left the company. By March 2017, over 1000 branches were opened in 40 countries ( Armenia , Azerbaijan , Belgium , Bosnia and Herzegovina , Bulgaria , Denmark , Germany , Estonia , Finland , France , Georgia , Italy , Kazakhstan , Croatia , Latvia , Lithuania , Luxembourg , Morocco , Macedonia , Montenegro , Netherlands , Norway , Austria , Poland , Portugal , Romania , Russia , Sweden , Switzerland , Serbia , Slovakia , Slovenia , Spain , Czech Republic , Ukraine and Hungary ) as well as in Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates . In 2014 almost 2/3 of sales were achieved abroad.
The headquarters are in Braunschweig. The company has over 16,000 employees, making it one of the 17 largest textile dealers in Germany.
The range consists of the own brands fishbone or FSBN , smog , ICONO and Black Squad (men's clothing) as well as fishbone sister and amisu (women's clothing) and censored ( underwear and swimwear ).
For the large branch in Braunschweig's city center, an LED wall with an area of 85 square meters was mounted on the facade, on which, in addition to the company's own advertising, cultural events, sports and music events, news, etc. be shown. The project also included a refurbishment of the building itself, which after the renovation will be a “business building for young fashion”.
New Yorker has been the owner of FFC Sportmanagement GmbH & Co. KG, which runs the American football team New Yorker Lions , since November 2011 .
criticism
In February 2015, the company was confronted with the accusation of taking targeted action against the establishment of works councils. The Frankfurter Rundschau reported on this in connection with the closure of the branch in Offenbach am Main . The branch there is said to have been spun off to an external company (New Yorker Outlet GmbH) shortly after the establishment of a works council and finally liquidated.
In November 2017, the company's offshore activities became known as part of the “Paradise Papers” research. Accordingly, an attempt was made to operate the company's aircraft through intermediaries for tax purposes on the Cayman Islands.
