According to the CEO of Timberland CO. responding to a well written and informed letter from Greenpeace a potent activist organization from Brazil is very important and must be responded to imediately. Timberland Company takes it very seriously when being allegedly accused of not taking envirionment issues as not being an important business factor. Timberland Company addressed the issue by informing the Brazilian activist that only 7% of Timberlands leather comes from Brazil. Timberland Company's CEO found the right tone and the right time to accompany and answer all questions that were asked while also valueing what the Greenpeace activist had mentioned in their concerns with Timberlands deforesting and cattle being slaughtered. Timberlands company does value communication in international and intercultural situations when it comes to its consumers and company branding.

Timberland company website and international website

Timberland company website and international website

Timberland Company has a main site that is worded in the English language under Timberland.com /US and on this site there is a timberland heritage page. On the heritage page you have several options available, the main menu- homepage- shop- and under the shop tab its separated into sub tabs such as Men’s, Women’s, and Children’s selections and then the store locator is to the father right hand side. The US Timberland page does not have a one international separate page but it does have a tool that has 12 other countries of choice to view the Timberland Company business in their language. Out of 12 countries I choose the China site which is Timberland.com.cn this site is very much like the original site, has bright colors some of the same pictures. The China site has fewer tabs to focus on than the US Timberland site. Timberland US site has 6 huge full picture slideshow on its homepage. While China slideshow is very small while rotating like in a vertical motion.

From an economic standpoint Timberland Company has become a growing asset to the VF’s Corp because there was a boost of 24% of profits of the 2.3 billion footwear company Timberland in the past 30days. Adjusted profits beat what analysts expected it would be. The company increased it’s per share earnings to 8.15 including 55 cents from the Timberland Company. As far as political factors none has raised just yet within the acquisition although there have been some changes within the pattern of changing hands in management objectives as far as cash flow requirements for the properties across the south. Also there have been changes as to increase the amount of debt used to finance the timberland acquisition while there are changes in harvest levels as well

Timberland Reboots in Boston

Timberland Reboots in Boston

Some 12 years after shuttering its Boston store, The Timberland Co. is back in business on Newbury Street, with a smaller footprint, sleeker look and tighter point of view. The company is redirecting its focus to its origins, emphasizing its signature boots and outdoor gear.
The 2,500-sq.-ft. space is designed to reflect Timberland's longstanding commitment to sustainability. The eco-friendly build-out features include the use of re-claimed wood and other materials, FSC woods and "Ecotech" recycled stoneware floor tiles. (Ecotech, from Floor Gres, is a porcelain tile that is made with 100% recycled material.)
The tabletops were reclaimed from athletic bleachers, and the plumbing fixtures are designed to converse water. Energy-efficient LED lighting helps light the store.
The store has a strong local and authentic feel. An original 25-ft. by 4-ft. mural on the back wall celebrates Boston neighborhoods, as well as popular "green spaces" throughout the area. Sports facts regarding Boston's beloved home teams are integrated into the space -- jersey numbers, for example, of such legendary players as Larry Bird and Tom Brady are etched into the ceiling rafters.
Timberland is looking to expand its retail presence. The company is planning new stores in key U.S. markets, including San Francisco and New York.

UPDATE 3: VF to Acquire Timberland

The merger of the two NYSE-listed companies determined to form a $10 billion global clothing and footwear company.

This article was updated at 10:46 am EST, June 16, to reflect the legal team from Richards, Layton & Finger.

VF Corporation and The Timberland Company have agreed to join forces. VF Corp will pay $43 per share to Timberlands shareholders, a deal value of roughly $2 billion net cash.

VF Corp plans to finance the transaction through a combination of cash, commercial paper and term debt.

Timberland retained Goldman Sachs as its financial advisor with David Friedland acting as the lead banker. Jeff Buckalew, Richard Steinman and Chris Grubb of Greenhill & Co are providing financial advice to VF Corp.

Both of the companies' boards of directors have approved the merger and the deal is expected to close in within the third quarter.

The merger agreement states that Timberland has the right to terminate the merger agreement if a superior proposal surface before the stockholder approval which is due by July 26, 2011. Members of the Swartz family have agreed to act by written consent to approve the transaction if the merger agreement has not been terminated by then. Timberland has agreed to pay $87.2 million in termination fees if it decides to take a higher offer.

VF Corp's CEO, Eric Wiseman, stated in the press release that Timberland is a complementary fit with its North Face brand. Wiseman added that Timberland's SmartWool brand will give the company a leadership position in a new category. Vans, JanSport, Reef, lucy, Eastpak, Napapijri, and Eagle Creek are among the other brands that sits within Timberlands outdoor and action sports portfolio.

Timberland, which produces and sells footwear and apparel, expects its revenues for 2011 to generate close to $1.6 billion, of which more than half comes from international sales.

VF Corp expects the acquisition to add close to $700 million to its 2011 revenues and be accretive to its earnings by $.75 by 2012. The addition, which will be paired with VF Corp's outdoor and action sports segment, will boost the unit's revenues by 50 percent. For the most part VF Corp intends to benefit from Timberland's rugged outdoor footwear knowledge and plans to expand in underdeveloped markets like Japan.

According to the companies, the combination will create a $10 billion global clothing and footwear "powerhouse." VF Corp's main goal is to achieve a 10% annual revenue growth for Timberland. The company plans to do so by leveraging its established international platforms in Europe, Asia and Latin America. It also plans to leverage its direct-to-consumer platform, consisting of a global base of retail stores and speeding up the growth of its e-commerce segment. Other plans include; to boost the Timberland and SmartWool brands' apparel offerings and to aggressively grow the women's apparel and footwear unit.

Timberland turned to Ropes & Gray as well as Richards, Layton and Finger for legal advice for the merger. Ropes legal team was led by Jane Goldstein, and includes partners Jonathan Zorn, Robert Gordon, Eric Elfman, Edward Black, and Mit Spears. RLF's legal team included C. Stephen Bigler and Gregory Williams.

VF Corp used Davis Polk & Ward as its legal counsel, with George Bason Jr. as the lead. Partner, Marc Williams also took part on the deal along with associates William Chudd, Jacqueline Pace and Shingira Masanzu. Partner Ronan Harty and counsel Stephen Pepper are providing antitrust advice while partner Kathleen Ferrell is handling tax matters.
