ASB MAGAZINE: Vans, a division of VF Corporation is hosting an investor meeting today at the brand’s headquarters and will provide details of its plan to grow revenue by $2 billion to reach $5 billion by fiscal year 2023, representing growth between 10 and 12 percent over the five-year period.

“Since VF’s acquisition in 2004, the Vans brand has grown at a 17 percent compounded annual rate and transformed into a $3 billion global lifestyle brand,” said Steve Rendle, VF Corporation Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer. “I am confident in the Vans team’s ability to deliver on a bold $5 billion revenue target which will be a key driver of VF’s plan to deliver superior total return to shareholders over the next five years.”
