Operating since 1964 and acquired by the current owner in 2007, this well-established business specialises in the manufacture and sale of pet accessories, rain ponchos, and envelope stiffeners. Through three distinct websites, it serves various industries, with many products assembled in-house.
The pet accessories division assembles components sourced from China, with a streamlined process that is easily manageable for new owners. Rain ponchos, which make up around 50% of total sales, are also sourced from China, targeting clients such as festival and event organisers.
Envelope stiffeners and a range of other items are sold through a third website and can be customised to bespoke sizes. Many products are white-labelled, offering exclusivity to stockists and wholesalers.
The business has built a loyal customer base over time, serving pet shops, outdoor event organisers, and stationers who rely on its reputation for quality and reliability. The business is relocatable, providing flexibility for a new owner. The vendor owns the warehouses, with the option to purchase them in the future, offering further opportunities for expansion or relocation.
With a simple manufacturing process and a high volume of online sales, the business thrives by selling directly to customers through its websites. Its long-standing reliability, strong reputation across multiple sectors, and wide product range, coupled with value-for-money offerings, make this an attractive opportunity.
