Kbl Group International

We know the only constant is change. Our industry and its markets are ever-evolving, and KBL Group has worn many hats since our humble beginnings in 1985. Back then, you knew us best as Crystal Kobe, a domestic importer and distributor of sweaters for women. Later on, the company added Kobe, a brand created for full figured women, followed by a foray into kids sportswear. In 1993, after observing immense opportunity in a direct-to-factory business model, we separately established KBL Group. By the turn of the century, KBL had acquired Crystal Kobe and its international network of factories. Our steady growth in bringing design-inspired businesses to life continued through both direct ownership and licensing agreements. By 2019, KBL Group was incorporated into the VM Group as a new division, who we are today – to strategically propel our efforts into the future.
