UK personal care ingredient maker Stephenson has signed three partnerships across its key geographic areas of Germany, France, and the US.
The Leeds, Yorkshire firm has added three new online resellers to its books: DistrEbution in Germany, Terre de Bougies in France, and Midwest Fragrance in the US.
The manufacturer of a wide range of soap bases and ingredients has been actively looking for partners to widen its supplier base, not only to enable a quicker route to market but to foster close cooperation.
This relationship will give partners the flexibility and efficiency they need to meet the demands of craft and SME brands within the European market.
“All three companies are very well established in their markets, with a great foundation and supporting materials to complement the use of Stephenson bases,” said managing director Rob Carr.
“At Stephenson, we believe these partnerships should be more than just transactional – they should be mutually beneficial. Alongside shared values, we provide robust support to our resellers,” he added.
“This includes detailed technical information, quick access to inventory, comprehensive marketing materials, and reliable sales support. All these resources ensure that our new resellers have everything they need to start strong and succeed right from the get-go.”
Stephenson’s global network now sees it supplying to more than 325 partners worldwide, across more than 60 countries, he added.
