Korean beauty retailer and distributor across Europe with owned brands
MiiN Cosmetics operates a dual-channel beauty business—direct retail (physical stores and e-commerce) plus wholesale distribution—anchored in Barcelona but expanding across Spain, France, Italy, and Germany. The tech stack reveals a traditional retail operations backbone (PrestaShop, Magento, Shopify for e-commerce; Sage ERP for finance; Salesforce for CRM) with heavy reliance on paid social (Meta Ads, Google Ads, TikTok, Instagram). Sales hiring dominates at nearly 2:1 over all other departments, while engineering is minimal (2 headcount), suggesting growth is supply-and-distribution-led rather than product-engineering-led.
MiiN Cosmetics curates and distributes Korean skincare and cosmetics brands to consumers across Europe, operating since 2014. The company runs three revenue streams: owned e-commerce sites (localized across multiple countries), a growing network of physical retail locations, and a B2B wholesale arm (miintrade.com). They stock third-party Korean brands alongside two in-house formulated brands. The business spans 51–200 employees across retail, sales, operations, finance, and content teams, with active expansion into Portuguese and Italian markets alongside existing presence in Spain, Germany, and France.
PrestaShop, Magento, and Shopify, supported by AWS infrastructure and Salesforce CRM. Payment and operations run on Sage ERP and Microsoft 365.
Minimally: 2 engineering headcount total, with no engineering roles posted in the last 30 days. Growth is sales and operations focused, not tech-driven.
