Yniq Eyewear (Spoxury TR Group AB) announced that Vail Valley will be its North American headquarters and Progression Brands Group (PBG) as its North American operating partner.
The decision to locate to the Vail Valley comes at a time when being close to the retailer and consumer is most important to the brand. As its North American operating partner, PBG will focus on expanding its retail network, enhancing customer service and supporting the brand while elevating its online and DTC experience. With a team and showroom in the Vail Valley, PBG said it can react in real-time to the brand’s retail partners and consumers.
