Levi Strauss & Co. is focusing on expansion in Asia, which has become the company’s fastest-growing region. For the quarter ending May 31, the Asian market contributed $284 million to total net revenues of $1.56 billion. Although it is the fastest-growing segment, Asia remains the smallest in the company’s portfolio, valued at approximately one-third of the Americas.

Chief commercial officer Gianluca Flore is tasked with narrowing the revenue gap between the Asian market and the Americas. The company’s long-term history includes the 1873 patenting of copper-riveted blue jeans, and while it remains a global brand, domestic manufacturing in the United States has not occurred since 2004. Current retail trends for the brand include significant price fluctuations and discounts on classic models like the 501 and 559 on platforms such as Amazon.
