The firm, whose trademark jackets, hooded tops and jogging bottoms are popular with teenagers and twentysomethings, said on Thursday it had struck a 10-year deal with Chinese retailer Trendy International Group, which will manage day-to-day operations while SuperGroup focuses on brands and marketing.
