Erve celebrating 40 years of growth

Erve is marking its 40th anniversary in 2025, and is reflecting back on its legacy of steady growth, as well as looking ahead to new opportunities.

With a diverse licensing portfolio that includes character entertainment, gaming, anime, sports, art, music and innovative Web3/NFTs, Erve offers its customers a wide selection of both classic and trending franchises.

Over the years, it has consistently expanded its reach, welcoming new retailers each year and extending its presence across the EU and UK. The company’s customer base is as varied as its product offerings, including everything from fashion retailers to mass-market volume drivers. Newer and growing retail chains are crucial to Erve’s expansion strategy, while established high street retailers continue to enhance the company’s visibility.

The company has successfully replicated its strategies from the EU and UK in new markets like India and Africa, where it has secured its first retail collections. These regions offer promising opportunities for growth.

In line with its ongoing expansion, Erve has new job offerings across various teams including commercial and merchandising roles.
