H&M (Hennes & Mauritz) is a globally recognized Swedish clothing retailer known for its fast-fashion clothing for men, women, teenagers, and children. The brand was established by Erling Persson in 1947, originally as a women's clothing store called Hennes in Västerås, Sweden. After acquiring the hunting apparel retailer Mauritz Widforss in 1968, the name was changed to Hennes & Mauritz.
While the brand is headquartered in Sweden, its manufacturing is outsourced to a vast network of independent suppliers globally. Bangladesh is one of the primary manufacturing hubs for H&M's textile products due to the country's extensive garment industry infrastructure. However, the company also utilizes production facilities in other countries across Asia and Europe to maintain its high-volume supply chain.
The brand is owned by the H&M Group (H & M Hennes & Mauritz AB), which is publically traded on the Nasdaq Stockholm but remains under the significant control of the Persson family. The company continues to be one of the largest fashion retailers in the world, focused on sustainable clothing initiatives and global expansion.
