Upon moving to Brazil, the Libanese immigrant Michel Melhem Sabbagh packed in his bags in the hope of achieving prosperity in an unknown country. As he arrived in the state of Santa Catarina, in the city of Blumenau, he planted a seed that was the beginning of a successful history: The Group Cristina.

The choice of the name for the small business founded in 1970 with the name of “Malharia Cristina” was a tribute to his newly born daughter. In order not to forget his roots, he used as a company symbol, the image of a Lebanon Cedar Tree, a millennial tree that represents his origin, his principles, and his values. The company has grown ofering quality clothes for children and adults. Over time, with a strong Private Label work, the Company consolidated itself as one of the main textile companies in the country. Currently the Cristina Group strengthens its presence in the baby, child-adolescent segment, starting to act only in this market, distributing its own brands throughout.
