“We are very excited to have such a strong partner in Brazil,” said Sean Sullivan founder and president of Somnio. “Brazil has an incredibly strong running market and Ikol is the perfect fit for us to help spread pain-free running and walking across that country.”

Based in São Paulo-Brazil, Ikol Distribution started as a dream to develop a company with an exclusive focus on the active lifestyle segment and with the goal of bringing the best products and services available worldwide to the Brazilian market. Founded in 2007 in the water sports market, the company has matured and started to focus on bigger active markets, including running. Composed of a team of young and talented individuals who all came from different sales and product backgrounds, Ikol offers a unique knowledge of the complex Brazilian market and is well regarded for adapting a brand’s philosophy and culture into an otherwise diversified marketplace.

“Ikol is proud to be the agency to bring Somnio shoes to the Brazilian market,” said Jan Christian from Ikol. “Our goal is to bring the best products into Brazil, and when we discovered Somnio, we instantly knew the product would meet the expectations of our customers.”

Somnio is distributed in over 20 countries all over the world, from Asia to Europe, and has offices in Santa Cruz, California as well as Wetzikon, Switzerland.
