Under this agreement, GFB that specialises in brand marketing in China received an exclusive license to grant franchises to Candy in China during the said period. The company is operational since 1992 and has an exhibition centre spread over an area of 280,000 square metres in Shanghai with the annual turnover of 1,700 million euro employing 2,000 people.

Through a franchise establishment in Wenzhou, Candy started its operations in China ten years ago, and now it is available in multi-brand shops of foreign countries.

Coruña has already taken steps towards acquiring foothold in Hong Kong and Japan, and is now marching forward to reinforce its bid in to the Asian market.
