Summary:
This well-established UK company manufactures and supplies environmentally friendly cleaning products, using ethically sourced ingredients and 100% recyclable and recycled bottles. Its wide range includes products for laundry, dishwashing, household cleaning, as well as hand soaps.
The company already supplies a large number of overseas customers, but is keen to grow its distribution network through the appointment of new distributors throughout the EU.
Description:
The UK company was established over 30 years ago, with the aim of developing and supplying household cleaning products which offer naturally-derived alternatives to the harsh cleaning chemicals traditionally used. The range of products it now supplies are environmentally responsible, vegan and cruelty free at an affordable price.
All the products are manufactured in the UK and the company has traceability on all the plant-based ingredients used, so it can be sure that they are ethically and sustainably sourced. The range includes:
For the home:
• Multi-surface and all-purpose cleaners
• Floor cleaners
• Glass and mirror cleaners
• Furniture polish
• Bathroom and toilet cleaners
Laundry:
• Laundry liquids
• Concentrated washing powders
• Fabric conditioners
• Laundry bleach
• Nappy cleaning solution
Dishwashing :
• Dishwasher powders
• Dishwasher rinse aid
• Washing up liquids
For the hands:
• Sanitising hand wash
• Soaps.
The laundry, dishwashing and hand wash ranges all include fragrance-free options, for those with perfume allergies. The products have won a number of awards over the years and are endorsed by Cruelty Free International, the Vegan Society and Allergy UK. The company also believes that it is the only “green” cleaning company whose products meet the standards for commercial food preparation (BS EN1276).
The packaging used is recyclable and recently the company has moved to use bottles made from 100% recycled post-consumer waste material across the range.
The cleaning products are sold online but also via distributors and retailers in the wholefood, health and wellness sectors, as well as other independent retailers. In recent years, the company has also been able to develop strong export markets for its products and, in order to meet this overseas demand even better, it is now keen to identify new distribution partners with whom it can develop long-term collaborative relationships.
Type (e.g. company, R&D institution…), field of industry and Role of Partner Sought:
Partners should be distributors already working in the wholefood, health or wellness sectors, with good connections to potential customers seeking environmentally friendly cleaning products. Ideally, they should also have experience in export / import processes. They should be willing to work with the UK company to develop a long-term collaborative and mutually beneficial relationship.
