SAN DIEGO, CA, March 18, 2011 (Press-News.org) IC Companys A/S is a Danish listed group formed in 2001 by the merger of Carli Gry International A/S and InWear Group A/S. The company, which registered an annual revenue of DKK 3.5 billion in 2009/10, runs and develops 11 strong and independent brands: Peak Performance, Tiger of Sweden, Jackpot, InWear, Matinique, Saint Tropez, Part Two, Cottonfield, By Malene Birger, Soaked in Luxury and Designers Remix.
With the global financial crisis crippling companies worldwide, IC Companys worked hard to cut back costs and weathered the storm by staying profitable throughout the crisis. Rohold believes its experienced management team held the company together at this critical time. "This team has re-defined how we do business and are working to commercialise and industrialise the market segment we are in," he says. "The company needed their expertise to improve and renew its processes."
According to Rohold, the economic downturn highlighted the areas where IC Companys was going wrong. "When everything is working well mistakes often slip through the net and are often overlooked," he says. "We saw that we needed to cut costs and looking at the processes of the company in turn, implemented a new structure for how we work in the wholesale and retail markets."
The company is currently busy working on its 11 brands and Rohold anticipates that it will not add another brand to its portfolio in the immediate future. However, the new structure opens up the possibility of acquiring new brands in the coming years. "We now know exactly how a new brand must fit into each strategic level of the company," he says.

Dine or dash? Genes help decide when to look for new food
2011-03-18
For worms, choosing when to search for a new dinner spot depends on many factors, both internal and external: how hungry they are, for example, how much oxygen is in the air, and how many other worms are around. A new study demonstrates this all-important decision is also influenced by the worm's genetic make-up.
In the simple Caenorhabditis elegans nematode, the researchers found that natural variations in several genes influence how quickly a worm will leave a lawn of bacteria on which it's feeding. One of the genes, called tyra-3, produces a receptor activated by adrenaline—a ...
Rare Andean cat no longer exclusive to the Andes
2011-03-18
Once thought to exclusively inhabit its namesake mountain range, the threatened Andean cat—a house cat-sized feline that resembles a small snow leopard in both appearance and habitat—also frequents the Patagonian steppe at much lower elevations, according to a new study published by the Wildlife Conservation Society and partners.
The finding represents a range extension for the Andean cat, which normally occurs at altitudes above 3,000 meters (approximately 9,800 feet). The new survey presents evidence of the cats occurring at elevations as low as 650 meters (approximately ...
Paleontologists audition modern examples of ancient behavior
2011-03-18
Paleontologists agree that it's difficult to observe behavior in fossil specimens that are dead – even extinct – and petrified. One method is to find a modern, living, species that has some similarities to the ancient animal.
That's the strategy adopted by David L. Meyer, University of Cincinnati professor of geology and colleagues as they study a group of ancient shellfish known as brachiopods. Although they resemble clams or other shelled mollusks, brachiopods are more closely related to marine worms. Relatively rare today, brachiopods were a dominant species in Paleozoic ...
Pardee Homes' Manzanita Trail in Coastal-close North San Diego County Offers Options for Downsizing
2011-03-18
Home shoppers who want the bigger bedroom count, but not the responsibilities of a big yard, have two great choices at Pardee Homes' Manzanita Trail in Pacific Highlands Ranch. The classic front porch designed Plan 1 and Plan 2 homes each have four bedrooms and very manageable side courtyards that help free the homeowner from yard work. Residents at Manzanita Trail also enjoy all the benefits of living within walking distance to the private Pacific Highlands Ranch Recreation Center.
Families like the McSherrys, who have four children, were thrilled to downsize from their ...
Breaking the mucus barrier unveils cancer cell secrets
2011-03-18
Washington, D.C. (March 16, 2011) -- Measuring the mechanical strength of cancer cell mucus layers provides clues about better ways to treat cancer, and also suggests why some cancer cells are more resistant to drugs than others, according to Kai-tak Wan, associate professor of engineering at Northeastern University, Boston, Mass.
According to Wan, healthy tissues naturally secrete mucus to protect against infection. Cancer cells, however, produce far more mucus than healthy cells.
Mucus consists of protein "stalks" attached to sugar sidechains, or "branches." This ...
Bacterial wipes research study
2011-03-18
(Edmonton) If you have time to quickly swipe your pager or cell phone three times, that would be your best bet to get rid of most of the bacteria. And a simple tissue moistened with saline would do the trick. But if you only have time for a single swipe of a 'dirty' phone – you'd be better off reaching for a disinfectant wipe.
Those are the highlights of a recently published research study that appeared online in PubMed, with the discoveries having been made by a team of researchers in the Faculty of Medicine & Dentistry at the University of Alberta.
"It was the mechanical ...
Fossils record ancient migrations and trilobite orgies
2011-03-18
Few specimens inspire greater thrills among fossil collectors than a complete trilobite. These ancient arthropods – relatives of lobsters, spiders and insects – went extinct more than 250 million years ago, but are sometimes found in beautifully preserved condition. In rare instances, an entire population of trilobites is found fossilized together. Carlton E. Brett finds evidence for ancient environment and behavior in these mass graves.
Brett, University of Cincinnati professor of geology, will present his findings March 20 at the Geological Society of America regional ...
New tool debuts for measuring indoor air pollutants
2011-03-18
A promising new approach for checking the accuracy of measurements of hazardous indoor air pollutants may soon be ready for prime time, report researchers from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and Virginia Tech.* The measurement tool, a reference sample for volatile organic compounds (VOCs), would be a boon to testers of indoor air quality and to manufacturers of paints, rugs, cleaners and other building products.
The researchers put their innovation—thin squares of plastic saturated with vapors of a common solvent—through the paces at four testing ...
New NIST testing device may help to 'seal the deal' for building owners
2011-03-18
Just as a chain is as strong as its weakest link, a building is as secure against the environment as its most degraded joint sealants, about 50 percent of which fail in less than 10 years after installation.
The upshot for U.S. homeowners is that moisture damage due to failed sealants is responsible for much of the $65 billion to $80 billion they collectively shell out for house repairs annually.
Researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) are assembling a toolkit of measurement devices and scientific data that will help manufacturers of ...
Study shows attendance at state parks grows, even as funding decreases
2011-03-18
A recent study from North Carolina State University shows that while the number of visits to state parks across the country has grown, fund support for park operations has been significantly reduced. The reduction in funding during a time of park growth endangers the more than $20 billion in economic impact that state parks have on the nation's economy.
"Obviously the reduction in general-fund support for operations puts stress on America's state-park systems," says Dr. Yu-Fai Leung, NC State associate professor of recreation ecology, park planning and visitor management, ...
