Ralph Lauren Corp. has been involved with several different mergers and acquisitions including one in 2010 when they acquired Shanghai Jin Jiang Dickson Center Co Ltd in China (alacrastore.com). Ralph Lauren also acquired Doosan Corp for $40 million in exchange for control of inventory and employees of the company in South Korea (tickerpot.com).
Ralph Lauren acquired the Club Monaco brand in 1999 which it sells in stores such as J.C. Penney. Club Monaco has a lower price scale which helps Ralph Lauren to appeal to a broader customer base. Ralph Lauren has acquired many companies over the years to extend their products such as Poloco, Fashions of Europe, Polo Brussels, Impact 21 Co., and Seibu Department Stores.
