Less than two years after completing a major financial restructuring to avert bankruptcy, Samsonite International is looking to become the second international consumer product brand to go public in Hong Kong. The luggage specialist yesterday kicked off the institutional marketing for an initial public offering of up to HK$11.75 billion ($1.5 billion) and aims to start trading on June 16.
