Montblanc strengthens travel retail business in Latin America

Montblanc Regional Brand Director Rodrigo Fajardo heads the expanded Miami office

Montblanc has stepped up its investment in its regional travel retail network by expanding the reach and functions of its Miami office to better serve the Latin America market.

As of 1 April 2013, Montblanc is enlarging the scope of the Miami office to assume full responsibility for its travel retail business all over Latin America. Until now, the region was covered by the international travel retail division, which operates out of Hamburg.

“This move has been prompted by Montblanc’s belief that the Latin American market continues to offer vast business potential for the brand,” the company said.

The luxury house is eyeing key markets such as Brazil for investments in the travel retail channel, enhancing its boutique network in the region.

The Miami division is headed by Regional Brand Director Rodrigo Fajardo, who is adding various new roles to his team as a result of the new market responsibility.

In addition to its international travel retail division in Hamburg, Montblanc maintains regional travel retail divisions in Hong Kong to serve Asia; in Dubai for the Middle East, India and Africa; and in Miami to serve North America, the Caribbean and Latin America.

Montblanc Area Manager International Travel Retail Kazem Toedt explained: “Miami is a strategic hub for our travel retail business in the Americas. The added responsibility reflects the outstanding performance of our team in Miami who will continue to focus on providing enhanced support to all of our partners in the region.”
