The partnership will bring a curated selection of Colop’s best-selling products to the UK, including the creative Marky brand of fabric stamps
Staedtler has entered into a UK distribution partnership with Colop, one of Europe’s largest manufacturers of creative and educational stamp products.
From this July, Staedtler (UK) Ltd will be responsible for the distribution of selected products from the Colop range in the UK, with both companies joining forces to make innovative, creative products available to retailers and consumers in an even more efficient and targeted manner.
Thomas Randrup, Managing Director of Staedtler (UK) Ltd, said: “This collaboration is an important extension of our strategy to offer our customers a broader and more attractive range. Colop’s creative products fit perfectly with our existing portfolio and open up new opportunities in our market.”
Through this partnership, Staedtler is expanding its portfolio with a range that appeals to both children and adults. A highlight includes the user-friendly Marky fabric stamp, which is ideal for personalising and labelling clothing, shoes, school supplies and other items. This product helps to easily prevent mix-ups and loss of items and is aimed at a broad target group, from families to schools. In addition, Colop offers numerous other products for a wide range of creative applications.
The range is tailored to both retail and e-commerce channels, as well as the education sector. This combination of two strong brands fosters creativity and supports retailers with an innovative, user-friendly and inspiring range.
“With Staedtler (UK) Ltd as a strong distribution partner, we can reach specialist retailers in the UK in an even more targeted manner and make our ever-growing range of Colop creative products more easily accessible to them,” added Roland Schwarz, Colop Sales Manager for Benelux. “The established market presence and proximity to customers ensure that retailers in the UK benefit from fast, reliable and expert support.”
