Today, PANDORA celebrates the grand opening of its store number 100 in Asia, in the Banqiao District of Taipei, Taiwan. PANDORA considers Asia to be its single largest long-term growth opportunity, and the Taipei grand opening is, from start to finish, a reflection of the company's dedication and connection to the region.

The Taipei store stands as a symbol of a very strong year for PANDORA in Asia. Since the company opened its first Asian shop in Hong Kong in 2009, its innovative jewellery concept has taken hold across the region, and PANDORA now has stores in China, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Japan, Korea, Macao, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, Taiwan, Thailand and Vietnam.

President of PANDORA Asia, Hans Hornemann, said: "The grand opening of our store number 100 in Asia marks an important milestone for us, and we are thrilled to have the region's top talent joining us and endorsing the PANDORA brand at this exciting event."

The event is one of many that have taken place over the past year, where PANDORA has accelerated its presence in Asia. During 2011, the number of PANDORA branded concept stores and shop-in-shops in this region increased by 84 to a total of 102, in line with the company's strategy of focusing on branded sales channels in the important Asian growth markets.
