Benchmark International is verheug om aan te kondig dat dit suksesvol geadviseer het oor die verkoop van Glenart Trading Proprietary Limited, Marcorp Marketing Consultants Proprietary Limited en Glenart Trading Limited (gesamentlik verwys as 'Glenart') aan IG Design Group PLC, 'n toonaangewende ontwerper, innoverer en vervaardiger in verskeie vier- en kreatiewe kategorieë.

Die verkryging verteenwoordig 'n belangrike mylpaal vir Glenart en ondersteun sy volgende groeifase binne 'n wêreldwye platform. Die transaksie bring Glenart se sterk kreatiewe vermoëns en gevestigde markteenwoordigheid bymekaar met IG Design Group PLC se internasionale omvang, hulpbronne en verspreidingsnetwerk. Hierdie strategiese verkryging verbeter die maatskappy se vermoë om sy produkaanbod uit te brei, operasionele kapasiteit te versterk en groei in beide bestaande en nuwe markte te versnel.

Gestig in Suid-Afrika, is Glenart 'n hoogs gerespekteerde ontwerper en verskaffer van knuppels. Die maatskappy het 'n sterk reputasie opgebou vir kreatiwiteit, kwaliteit en kliëntgerigte ontwerp, en bedien 'n wye reeks kleinhandelsvennote met innoverende en kommersieel suksesvolle produkreekse. Sy geïntegreerde, ontwerp-gedrewe benadering en betroubare voorsieningsvermoëns het die maatskappy as 'n betroubare vennoot in die knuppelsektor geposisioneer.

Miles Rasmussen, stigter van Glenart, het opgemerk: "Ons is opgewonde oor die toekoms van Glenart en die beduidende voordele wat ons verwag om te realiseer deur twee hoogs aanvullende besighede bymekaar te bring."

IG Design Group PLC, genoteer op die Londense Effektebeurs, is 'n wêreldleier in die ontwerp, vervaardiging en verskaffing van kreatiewe verbruiksgoedere op die gebiede van vieringe, geskenke, skryfbehoeftes, handwerk en speelgoed. Met bedrywighede oor verskeie kontinente werk die groep saam met baie van die wêreld se voorste kleinhandelaars en bied dit skaal, kundigheid en uitgebreide internasionale verspreidingsvermoëns. Die oorname stem ooreen met IG Design Group se strategie om sy kreatiewe portefeulje uit te brei en sy teenwoordigheid in sleutelgroeimarkte te versterk.

Stewart Gilliland, Tussentydse Uitvoerende Voorsitter van IG Design Group PLC, het bygevoeg: "Ons is verheug om die verkryging van Glenart te voltooi. Glenart is 'n besigheid wat ons eie baie aanvul, met 'n sterk rekord van groei, 'n gevestigde kleinhandelskliëntebasis in Suid-Afrika en internasionaal, en 'n beproefde, hoë kwaliteit, laekoste-vervaardigingsplatform. Ons sien daarna uit om hulle in die wyer Groep te verwelkom."

John Loubser, Transaksiedirekteur by Benchmark International, het bygevoeg: "Glenart het 'n uitsonderlike reputasie opgebou deur sy kreatiwiteit, kwaliteit en langtermyn-kliëntverhoudings. Hierdie transaksie verteenwoordig 'n sterk strategiese pasmaat vir beide partye, en ons is verheug dat ons Miles Rasmussen en die Glenart-span bygestaan het om hierdie belangrike mylpaal te bereik. Ons glo dat IG Design Group PLC 'n uitstekende platform bied vir Glenart se voortgesette groei en internasionale uitbreiding."
