Moscow, Russia, 27 <\/strong>February<\/strong> 2020 \u2013 <\/strong>Detsky Mir Group (\u201cDetsky Mir\u201d, the \u201cGroup\u201d or the \u201cCompany\u201d, MOEX: DSKY), Russia\u2019s largest specialised children\u2019s goods retailer, announces the launch of Manu<\/strong>, a new private label in diapers.<\/p>\n

Detsky Mir is rolling out the new PL brand in the children\u2019s goods markets of Russia, Kazakhstan, and Belarus. Developed through a partnership with Unicharm, Japan\u2019s largest manufacturer of diapers, Manu<\/strong> offers premium Japanese quality for a medium price, giving it a competitive edge over other global brands. Currently, the Manu<\/strong> assortment consists of ten SKUs available in five key sizes, from Newborn to XL, and coming in two packaging sizes.<\/p>\n

During 2020, the Company will expand the assortment marketed under the brand to include an additional category, Diaper Pants, and has plans to actively push the Manu<\/strong> PL brand through promotions and TV commercials.<\/p>\n

The Company has been successful in the past in introducing private labels for newborns: in late 2016, Detsky Mir developed and launched its first private label in hygiene, BabyGo diapers. This 90% Russian-made brand is positioned in the low-price segment, achieving a share of 6.3% in total category sales for 2019. The Company is planning to gain momentum with the BabyGo PL brand by offering an even better value for money (without increasing the price), as well through rebranding and smart promotions.<\/p>\n

\u201cPushing private labels is a key strategic priority for us, with the Detsky Mir chain currently offering 8,000 private label SKUs and their share in the Company\u2019s 2019 sales growing by 3.3 p.p. YoY to 33.1%. With one out of every three items on a Detsky Mir ticket being a private label, we see considerable growth potential for private label sales in Toys and Diapers. Through Manu<\/strong>, Detsky Mir is offering its customers an exclusive, high-quality, low-price product while also achieving higher sales margins. Our mid-term target is to double private label sales in Diapers,\u201d<\/em> commented Vladimir Chirakhov, PJSC Detsky Mir Chief Executive Officer.<\/strong><\/p>\n
