Founded in 1960, DBI has a long tradition of innovation and excellence. In 2022, the company regained its independence and intends to accelerate its growth by relying on a clear strategy based on four pillars: the development of its flagship brands, a solid product innovation program, a strong omnichannel strategy, and a continuous operational excellence program. "Simplification and Scale" is our strategic motto. Our ambition is to open a new cycle of profitable growth and to realize the full global potential of the DIM brand.

DBI's headquarters is located in Rueil-Malmaison, near Paris, with subsidiaries throughout Europe (DACH, Italy, Iberia, Eastern Europe, Canada) and distributors in the Middle East, Asia, and Africa. Its supply center (manufacturing and logistics) is based in Autun, Burgundy, where more than 5 billion tights have been produced since the creation of DIM! Furthermore, we are deeply committed to a dynamic ESG strategy, structured around 3 pillars: Planet, Product, People. For example, the DIM brand is CO2 neutral scope 1&2, thanks to a mix of emission reduction and capture.
