- Karsten S.A. manufactures and sells household textile products and home decor items primarily in Brazil. The company offers a diverse portfolio of core products including cotton bedding such as sheets and duvet covers; bath items like towels, bathrobes, and mats; table linens; infant textiles; upholstery; and additional decor solutions encompassing home fragrances, picture frames, decorative pillows and cushions, organizers, clothes baskets, kitchen accessories, and bathroom accessories, marketed under brands including Karsten, Karsten Décor, Casa In, and Trussardi. Karsten operates through industry and retail segments, with physical stores across Santa Catarina, Paraná, Rio Grande do Sul, and São Paulo; an expanding e-commerce platform; and distribution to over 7,000 points of sale nationwide, alongside exports to more than 20 countries mainly in Latin America. Founded in 1882 by Johann Karsten and headquartered in Blumenau, Santa Catarina, Brazil, at Rua Johann Karsten No. 260, the company employs approximately 2,509 people and functions as a subsidiary of Kasavii Participações S.A. In recent years, Karsten has undergone significant leadership transitions and strategic enhancements, including the structured succession of its presidency in 2024 with Márcio Luiz Bertoldi assuming the role of CEO from Armando Hess de Souza, following the hiring of a CFO and investor relations director in prior years; ongoing digital transformation with accelerated e-commerce growth and omnichannel integration; physical retail expansion such as new store openings in locations like Maringá, Paraná; product innovations like the Unika bath towels and SoftMax technology for improved comfort and absorption; and a post-2014 restructuring under new controlling investors that involved financial recovery, brand repositioning of Karsten and Trussardi, factory modernization, and a shift from export-heavy reliance to stronger domestic retail focus.
