Dear DCCC members and friends,
We have the pleasure to introduce to you DK Company.
Since its inception in 2001, DK Company has grown to become one of Europe’s
leading suppliers of fashion and lifestyle brands catering to men and women.
DK Company celebrated its 20 th anniversary with a record result of DKK 612
million (120 million CAD) before tax, based on record revenue of DKK 3.9 billion
(767 million CAD) a growth rate of 20%.
Today DK Company employs 2,400 people all over the world, and our business
offers fashion based on value for money and luxury for less. Our efficient and
cost-conscious supply chain ensures competitive prices with a wide range of
fashion brands that appeal to customers all over the world.
With offices in Montreal, Toronto and Vancouver, DK Company Canada has
developed a network of distributors from Nova Scotia to Yukon. DK Company’s
commitment for quality products has conquered Canadian consumers and our
reach in the Great White North is growing every year.
THE BLOOMING CONCEPT
DK Company’s success is built on the fundamental belief that business
relationships are like any other relationship - requiring effort, attention, honesty,
and respect - in order to be mutually beneficial. In our supply chain of DESIGN –
PLAN – MAKE – SOURCE - DELIVER, there are a multitude of relationships with
our suppliers and manufacturers to our internal staff of operations to our
customers and our end consumers. Each and every aspect, department and
person contribute value and an essential function to not only complete the
process, but also sustain the business. Our primary goal is to constantly develop.
Develop ourselves, develop our employees, develop our partners.
This, we believe, is what creates long-term relationships that can weather any
storm. That is why we’ve created, ‘The Blooming Concept.’ A new way to identify
with our supply chain – understanding what each area represents and how each
area affects the process as a whole.
THE BEES
Our customers and consumers are the single most important factor in keeping
our business alive and thriving. They are the ‘pollination’ that feeds our company
and helps us reproduce. The value we’re able to offer to our customers and
consumers is built on high quality, consistent best practices, reliable partnerships
and affordable fashion for all. We’re able to measure our success through these
relationships and continually maintain healthy turnover and sell-through.
Relationships to the market don’t always occur as organically as the relationship
between a bee and a flower. That is why DK Company attends to our business as
carefully as we do. Because, when it’s nourished properly, the result is much like
a Blossoming Flower.
THE FLOWERS
There will always be elements involved that may result in a flower leafing out but
never producing its buds and blossoms. This is why every part of the process
must work together in order to adapt to its environment. If our root system is
functioning correctly and the stem is strong enough to support the overall
structure – our company and our brands will grow into beautiful, healthy
blossoms. We understand that the temperature of the market demands
thoughtfulness and flexibility in our approach. Which is the exact reason we’ve
developed a multi-brand strategy. With currently 20 in DK Company’s portfolio,
15 of which are distributed in Canada, we’re able to attract more customers and
consumers and weather the harsh elements of the economy.
A HAPPY EMPLOYEE MAKES A HAPPY COMPANY
Our employees are the backbone of our business and our brands. They function
similarly to the stem and leaves of a flower – providing support and the structure
necessary to allow the business to flourish and achieve its greatest potential. We
believe in growing our employees, granting them accountability and the power
they need to thrive, and offer mentoring programs to ensure they’re continually
developing themselves intellectually, mentally and even physically. We also like
to throw the occasional rockin’ party to let loose!
ROOTS PLANTED FIRMLY FOR A STRONG FOUNDATION
DK Company’s root system is the anchor of our business. An integral and
sophisticated web of suppliers whom we rely on to manufacture and deliver
quality goods connected to the market’s demand for timeliness and consistency.
In order to obtain a competitive advantage in the market, it is crucial to maintain long-term relationships with our suppliers. The longer we’ve been doing business together, the more organized and efficient our root system becomes.
Importing this win-win philosophy in Canada, has proven incredibly successful and we’re committed to thoughtfully growing our presence in the Canadian ready-to-wear landscape.
