History
Giochi Preziosi sold 50% stake of a joint venture Prenatal Retail Group to its partner Artsana in 2017.[3] The same year, Enrico Preziosi, chairman of Giochi Preziosi, bought back the minority ownership of the company from Chinese company Ocean Gold Global.[4] In 2011, Flair, one of the UK's top ten toy companies, was acquired, becoming part of the group. Ocean Gold Global invested in Giochi Preziosi in 2014.[5]
