Versace to go on stock exchange 'soon as possible' -Ferraris

(ANSA) - Milan, November 13 - Versace Managing Director Gian Giacomo Ferraris said Friday he hopes the fashion house will be floated on the stock exchange "as soon as possible" as the company predicted its 2015 turnover will be some 640 million euros.
    "The family has chosen the stock exchange to be independent and wants to retain control in the middle-long term," he said.
    Turnover in 2009 was just 277 million and the company then was making a loss but Ferraris says its turnover soon is expected to reach nearly 1 billion euros.
