Leader in technical blankets enters New Zealand and Pacific Island markets through strategic distribution partnership
PORTLAND, Ore. (September 22, 2020) – Rumpl, the category leader in technical blankets, has announced a distribution partnership with Compendium Limited, a distributor in the New Zealand and Pacific Island region known for representing sustainable brands within the outdoor, sports and categories. The partnership begins in September 2020.
“New Zealand has always felt like a natural fit for our brand. We’re so excited to partner with Compendium, a trusted, top-tier professional team, to make our first introduction to the market and build deep, lasting relationships,” says Wylie Robinson, CEO and founder of Rumpl. “One of our founding pillars is to look towards the future responsibly. We were immediately drawn to Compendium for their commitment to working with sustainable brands.”
Founded in 2013, Compendium LTD has introduced trendsetting brands like Hydro Flask and OOFOS to the New Zealand market, with a focus on sustainable brands that close the loop between people and product. Rumpl will further bolster the Compendium portfolio as the leader in the technical blanket category, pairing material innovation, post-consumer recycled goods, and bold designs and colorways to deliver versatile blankets and gear that provide “the comfort of home” anywhere.
“Rumpl embodies the same ethos of sustainable consumption and production that we look to foster within our agency portfolio. As a Climate Neutral certified brand that has reclaimed over six million post-consumer recycled plastic bottles, we are proud that Rumpl will join our portfolio of changemakers,” says Johnathan Lopes Da Silva, managing director of Compendium. “We believe there is a place for Rumpl in every New Zealand household.”
