Boulder, Co. (February 20, 2020) Grangers, the market-leading brand for aftercare solutions, headquartered in Derbyshire, England, is pleased to announce its partnership with Sea to Summit, as its exclusive American distributor.
This partnership arrives at a time of significant growth for the UK-based aftercare brand, owing to previous support and work achieved with some of the largest USA retailers such as REI and brands including The North Face, Burton Snowboards and Patagonia.
The brand, known for its innovative manufacturing history, sustainable messages paired with bluesign® approval, and partnerships with major outdoor brands, has recently launched its Eco 2020 pledge. This pledge includes the announcement that its bottles will be changing to Ocean Waste Plastic from June and with this comes the demand to take the brand one step further.
Sea to Summit is a natural fit for the Grangers brand who also have a well-established relationship with the Australian division of the business. The ethos, passion and driven approach of the Sea to Summit USA team will ensure that Grangers can strengthen their operations further in the USA.
Karolina Jones, Grangers General Manager, who recently celebrated her 30 year with the company said: “We join forces with Sea to Summit at a very exciting time for Grangers. The brand has seen significant growth and we know with the support of Sea to Summit we can work to grow the aftercare brand futher in the USA”
“This partnership coincides with our 2020 Eco Pledge, which will enable us to promote the message of sustainability further”.
Paul Lister, Sales Director, added: “We were instantly impressed by Sea to Summit’s operations – their commitment to educating retailers and brands and their professionalism. We’re excited to see what the future has to bring for Grangers within the USA market, with them on board.”
