Originally the family came from Tecklenburger Land (Westphalia) in Germany, selling linen in Friesland in the Netherlands. In 1841, two members of the family founded C&A company in Sneek. Their descendants discovered the potential of the stock of produced ready-made garment. The family owns Cofra Holding AG, based in Switzerland. Through Cofra it owns and manages businesses in private equity (Bregal Investments), real estate (Redevco), asset management (Anthos Fund & Asset Management) and retail (C&A), which together manage more than €40 billion in assets. Since the 2010s, the family has begun opening these businesses to outside investors.
