Since the introduction of the Italian sports fashion brand - Kappa by China Dongxiang in 2002, its brand positioning which combines European taste with sporty fashion, sexy and stylish elements has gained widespread popularity nationwide. As a pioneer in China's sports fashion wear industry, China Dongxiang has put forth a great deal of effort in cross-border marketing programmes.

It has a diversified business portfolio that includes the production of films, TV programme series, artist management, music CDs, entertainment, and marketing.

Commenting on this new strategic co-operation with Huayi Brothers, Mr. Chen Yihong, Chairman of China Dongxiang, said - "The Kappa brand represents sports, fashion, young and sexy image, which match perfectly with the entertainment nature and resources of Huayi Brothers. We share the same target group and a common philosophy toward charity and social affairs. I believe the strong synergy effect brought about by this co-operative agreement will further strengthen our brand awareness."
Mr. Chen continued, "2009 is the 40th anniversary of OMINI, the 'back-to-back' logo of Kappa. The classic brand image of Kappa was created 40 years ago when a photographer accidentally caught a man and a woman sitting back to back against the light. The brand logo. in fact, carries the intrinsic value of sharing and support. I hope that our 'entertainment-to-sports' co-operation with Huayi Brothers carries on the spirit of Kappa's "back-to-back" logo, leading to a win-win partnership through sharing and mutual support."
