MINNEAPOLIS, MN--(Marketwire - July 21, 2009) - YOUnison (www.younison.com), the value-added master agent for some of the world's coolest products, today announced it has been appointed exclusive master agent by Preggioni, a design and innovation firm based in Reykjavik, Iceland.

Magneat is a fashionable yet highly functional consumer electronics accessory for the ultimate in headphone wire management. Its elegant yet simple two-part design consists of a circular, wraparound headphone wire storage device along with a powerful magnetic clip that combine to attach the Magneat to virtually any type of clothing. Annoying excess hanging wire, tangled wires, and wire storage problems when not in use are a thing of the past with Magneat.

Magneat is ideal for the fitness market, as well as outdoor, consumer electronics accessories, fashion accessories, music/entertainment, college bookstores, and a host of other markets.

Under the terms of the exclusive agreement, YOUnison will establish a strategic distribution channel throughout the United States, Mexico, and Canada encompassing distributors, sales agents, and retailers who will stock and sell the Magneat product line. YOUnison will also provide a wide range of value-added services including marketing, public relations, and logistics, while supporting retailers and e-tailers with order processing and fulfillment, inventory distribution, merchandising and a sales enablement portal.

"Magneat is a must-have accessory product that should be sold alongside every iPod, MP3 player, mobile handset, and related accessory," said Derek Peterson, CEO of YOUnison. "This product delivers a unique blend of fun, fashion, and function that sets Magneat apart as the pioneering leader in headphone wire management. Its brilliant design, patented magnetic fixation system, and must-have functionality combine to make a one-of-a-kind statement about each user's style, fashion sense, and appreciation for classic, innovative design."
