Pronovias is a wedding gown design company headquartered in Catalonia, Spain. In 2017, BC Partners purchased a 90% ownership interest in the company for 550 million Euros. The following year, Amandine Ohayon took over as CEO, replacing Andrés Tejero.
For 23 years until his passing in 2013, Manuel Mota Cerrillo held the position of creative director at Pronovias. After several leadership transitions, Manuel Ehrensperger, previously associated with Swarovski, was named General Director in 2013. In 2014, Andrés Tejero Sala assumed the role of CEO.
Pronovias is recognized for its high-end bridal gowns, many of which incorporate Swarovski crystal embellishments. Among its notable creations is the lace wedding dress worn by Maria Menounos during her 2017 nuptials in Times Square.
On December 20, 2022, Pronovias revealed that it had been acquired by a group of investors led by Bain Capital and MV Credit, with the deal finalized in early 2023. Since the change in ownership, capital investment has been boosted by 100 million euros to foster expansion and innovation.
