BBI, established in 1989 by Didier Brenard, specializes in clothing for children aged 0-5 years. With its headquarters in Belgium and 12 dedicated employees, BBI primarily sells its products in Spain (68%), France (19%), and Belgium (13%). The company designs its clothes, which are manufactured in China (4 factories) and Thailand (5 factories), before being shipped to Antwerp for distribution. However, BBI faces challenges including rising labor costs in Asia, economic slowdowns, and competition from large buyers bypassing intermediaries.
