Crate and Barrel enjoys excellent name recognition in the U.S., but few shoppers at the furnishings and home accessories retailer know of its German parent, Otto Group, which bills itself as the second-largest Internet retailer worldwide (after Amazon.com). Founded by the late Werner Otto as a mail-order business in Hamburg, in 1949, the family company today is active in real estate and financial services as well as retail. Werner’s son Michael, who heads the supervisory board, retired as chief executive in 2007 after 26 years in that position. An environmentalist, he supports a foundation that funds the preservation of Germany’s Elbe river. Michael’s brother Alexander manages the family’s ECE Group, which develops and manages shopping centers (at last count, 196 were under management). It also develops and builds transport complexes, logistics centers, company headquarters, office complexes, industrial buildings and special-purpose properties. Then there’s Paramount Investment Group, an asset manager for closed-end funds that own 12 prime office properties in New York City, Washington D.C. and San Francisco, representing a total of 10.4 million square feet of space. Another family entity manages roughly 8,300 apartments and 1.5 million square feet of industrial space in the Toronto area. Rounding out the portfolio are retail and service businesses, including the world’s largest mail-order company, under the umbrella of Otto GmbH & Co. The Otto Group isn’t run by a family member but rather by Hans-Otto Schrader. Michael Otto’s son Benjamin had widely been expected to take over the helm, but in spring 2015 he announced he would not follow in his father’s path as CEO, opting instead to become a managing partner for the group (“gestaltender Gesellschafter,” a shareholder who takes an active role but has no operational duties). Also sharing in the fortune: Maren Otto, the third wife of Werner, and her daughter Katharina Otto-Bernstein.
