The German shoe brand, known for its leather sandals models, called Birkenstock, has been making shoes since 1774. The company has remained a family business for most of its history. Now, it is being reported that talks are underway to buy the brand.

A potential buyer is European private equity firm CVC Capital Partners, which already owns such well-known brands as Swiss watch brand Breitling and German beauty and grooming retailer Douglas. It has also been reported that investment company Permira, the owner of the popular shoe brand Dr. Martens, is interested in buying Birkenstock. Initially, the brand tried to get other major market players and well-known shoe manufacturers interested in buying it but eventually turned to investment firms.
