Despite being based in Stoke on Trent, Portmeirion has captured the imagination of collectors across the world and is now actively trading in several global markets. In a trading update, a Portmeirion spokesperson said:
“It is gratifying to achieve record sales for the fourth consecutive year despite the continuing difficult economic conditions in most of our major markets. The UK and South Korean markets continued to perform well.”
The non-executive chairman of Portmeirion, Dick Steele, commented on the recent strong results that have been published by the company, saying:
“The achievement of another record level of sales in such challenging conditions is highly satisfying. Our established strategy of product design, product quality, a powerful international sales team and financial prudence continues to serve us well. In particular, our diversity of export markets has enabled us to balance harsh conditions in the US with opportunities elsewhere in the world."
Pottery and tableware companies like Portmeirion often rely on promotional material to promote their goods, especially in emerging markets like those in Asia and America. Point of sale displays play a big part when it comes to promoting items in store and many manufacturers rely on retailers displaying Signs created using pos printing.
The company is expected to release a full report on its yearly financials in March this year.
