Artistic director Rafe Hardy to take over reigns.

Speaking at the firm’s annual conference in Los Angeles yesterday, Sexy Hair Concepts’ president and chief executive Karl-Heinz Pitsch said sales for 2009 exceeded expectations, maintaining double-digit growth despite a down economy. Company wide, sales were up in both North America and the international division, the latter of which posted a gain of 45%. Pitsch credited much of that success to the strength of the brand, successful new product launches and the company’s emergent international business. New partnerships forged abroad in 2009 included Italy, the United Kingdom, Denmark, Finland, the Netherlands, Brazil, Argentina, Paraguay and Uruguay. “We’ve had an amazing year, and I thank our hardworking team for their diligence, high energy and efforts in pushing the extra mile in what was a very hard year for businesses across the world,” said Pitsch. “As we shift into 2010, with plans for new and exciting ventures, the future looks brighter than ever.” In addition, Pitsch announced that artistic director Rafe Hardy will take over the reigns of the Chatsworth, CA-based manufacturer of hair care products.
