Joolz

Joolz is a distinguished manufacturer of premium buggies and strollers, renowned for its portfolio of award-winning products characterized by timeless design. The company, backed by Gimv, is uniquely positioned as the go-to premium juvenile brand for modern parents due to a commitment to pioneering product development, category-leading environmental, social and governance (ESG) credentials and international omni-channel model. Since their investment, Gimv has worked closely with Joolz to accomplish the mission of becoming the next-generation premium stroller brand that creates the best products for children, parents and the planet, with consciously designed strollers made for real life and built to last.

The Deal

The refinancing has empowered Joolz to provide greater flexibility and support for further business growth. Thanks to their recent customer acquisitions and innovative product range that seamlessly aligns with modern parental demands, Joolz has demonstrated excellent performance and secured a strong market position. This success has enabled Joolz to obtain a comprehensive financing package.
