CLEARWATER, Fla., March 29, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Infusion Brands International (INBI.PK) has improved the efficiency in which it can take new consumer products to market around the world by forming a new distribution alliance with Brand Developers Limited, one of Australia and New Zealand's most established consumer products and direct response companies. Since soft launching the partnership last month, Brand Developers has generated more than $1 million in revenue.
Infusion Brands is a consumer products company that leverages direct response to satisfy unmet market demands and solve every day problems, with an array of innovative consumer products that have potential to disrupt their categories with significant competitive advantages, features and benefits. This agreement grants Brand Developers the exclusive distribution rights in Australia and New Zealand on one such product, DualSaw®.
DualSaw is an engineering wonder with two blades that simultaneously rotate in opposite directions, enabling home improvers and professionals to make smoother, more precise cuts with reduced kickback.
In addition, this agreement paves the way for Infusion Brands and Brand Developers to collaborate on future projects not only in Australia and New Zealand, but also the United States and Europe, where Infusion Brands is already well-established.
"Infusion Brands is able to generate global sales velocity, quickly taking successful projects into other countries based on our business model," said Bob DeCecco, Chairman and CEO of Infusion Brands. "In this case, the success of the DualSaw in the United States, combined with our presence in the European market via Infusion Brands Europe, made a partnership with Brand Developers in Australia and New Zealand a natural fit for both companies."
"Having a partner with 'feet on the street' in the United States and Europe was a huge asset for us when considering the opportunity to work with Infusion Brands," said Paul Meier, CEO of Brand Developers. "We feel certain this is going to be a long-term, mutually beneficial partnership: We are already being asked by retailers here to stock the DualSaw, and sales to date have been twice initial projections."
According to DeCecco, the relationship will likely be expanded to include other products and line extensions. Plans are also in the works to announce additional global partnerships in the near future.
