Nambé Announces Dinnerware Partnership with Gibson
In an effort to expand its presence in the dinnerware category, Nambé announces a dinnerware licensing partnership with US tabletop brand Gibson Overseas, Inc.
Effective March 2011, Gibson will handle manufacturing, warehousing, distribution and sales for all Nambé dinnerware.
“We feel that there are multiple benefits to this license,” explains Robert Varakian, President and CEO of Nambé. “It will allow us at Nambé to continue to increase our focus and expansion of our core product categories, as well as experience expansion of the branded dinnerware under Gibson’s guidance and experience in that product category. We feel the strength of the Nambé brand umbrella will continue to grow and are exploring other opportunities for additional product categories that could be appropriate for the Nambé brand.”
Gibson will continue to bring the high standards of quality and design Nambé is known for. As part of a seamless transition, the existing dinnerware patterns will continue to be shipped in the same packaging and under the same brand. Additionally, Gibson will develop new patterns and an expanded accessories program.
“We are delighted with this opportunity,” adds Sal Gabbay, President at Gibson. “We are committed to embracing the valued brand equity and the essence of Nambé and are determined to meet and exceed customer expectation.”
