Imperial, now under the ownership of CPC, announced the completion of its acquisition of Pukka, Inc., a custom headwear company based in Findlay, OH. Known for its designs in golf, action sports, and team sporting goods markets, Pukka’s existing management team and operational structure will remain intact.
Todd Johnson, CEO of Imperial, commented on the acquisition: “Imperial is a brand rich in heritage and traditional styling with a modern twist. Pukka is a very innovative brand with an energy that speaks to an audience distinct from Imperial. We believe both brands can co-exist by running them separately and keeping their personalities true to their DNA. I am thrilled to partner with the Pukka brand and management team, and look forward to a bright future ahead with both Imperial and Pukka continuing to service their loyal customers.”
Shawn Rogers, founder and CEO of Pukka, assured stakeholders that the core values and vision of Pukka would remain unchanged. “While the ownership of Pukka will change, our core values, vision and dedication to ‘Be Original’ will remain deeply rooted in our culture,” said Rogers. He also expressed optimism about the new partnership with CPC, highlighting the potential for accelerated growth and enhanced operational initiatives.
