  • LAUDER ESTEE COS INC Profile

    The firm's Est�e and Bobbi are counted among some of the closest friends to women worldwide. Est�e Lauder sells cosmetics, fragrances, and skin care products, with brands including upscale Est�e Lauder and Clinique and professional Bobbi Brown "essentials". Its lines are sold in department stores, company stores, and by specialty retailers, as well as online. The firm has expanded its chain of freestanding retail stores (primarily for its M.A.C, Origins, and Aveda brands). The founding Lauder family controls about 88% of its voting shares. Est�e Lauder bowed its Tom Ford collection in 2005 and in 2007 sold its Rodan + Fields line. Veteran Procter & Gamble executive Fabrizio Freda joined the firm in March 2008.
