UK distribution rights for BLINK Mints and initial purchase order from WH Smith

 

LiteBulb Group (AIM: LBB), the provider of innovative product solutions from identification through to retail distribution, announces that it has received exclusive UK distribution rights for the BLINK Mints confectionery product range and that it has secured an initial purchase order from major UK retailer WH Smith for the BLINK Mints range.

 

LiteBulb has secured an initial purchase order to supply the BLINK Mints range of confectionery products to c. 315 WH Smith stores nationwide. BLINK Mints is a range of sugar free sweets that come in a wide variety of flavours, each of which is presented in individual, stylish collectible tins. BLINK Mints are already successfully sold across countries in Europe, Asia, and the Middle East which gives LiteBulb confidence that these will prove popular with retailers in the UK.

 

BLINK Mints are produced in Germany by the Danish headquartered company Conzept International. Having launched the product range in 2011 the innovative branding and design has already made BLINK Mints the one of the leading confectionery products in Europe. LiteBulb has secured exclusive distribution rights for the product range in the UK and is in discussions with several other UK retailers about the range.

 

Simon McGivern, LiteBulb Group CEO, commented, "We are delighted to have secured distribution rights to BLINK Mints. It is our continuing strategy to add innovative products to our portfolio to fulfil the demand from our retail partners for items that address new markets. BLINK Mints are a good addition to our existing products and with a strong track record of sales across Europe and beyond we are sure they will be a success in the UK."
