US-based VF Corporation has announced the inauguration of an expansion of its EMEA headquarters in Stabio, Switzerland. The 2,500 square meter space includes offices, flexible coworking areas, a multifunctional auditorium and rooms for wellness and sports.
The location “is designed to bring people together and support the way we work, connect and grow,” VF said in a post on LinkedIn. The expansion complements an existing campus where, according to the company, over 1,000 employees from over 40 nations already work.
The news comes amid the clothing group’s ongoing turnaround strategy. This recorded sales growth in the 2026 financial year for the first time in three years. The period was characterized by portfolio optimization, particularly through the sale of Dickies and Supreme, as well as a realignment of the Outdoor and Active categories.
Total revenue rose four percent to $9.3 billion, while adjusted gross margin reached 55.2 percent. Operating income was $650 million with an adjusted operating margin of seven percent. This represents an increase of 110 basis points.
Bracken Darrell, VF’s chief executive officer (CEO), said brands like Vans are showing particular momentum. These were the focus of targeted turnaround efforts. The shoe brand is now on track to achieve its medium-term goals. This also includes an operating margin of ten percent at the end of the financial year.
