P&G Ireland Country Manager, David Cotter, said:
“This is a significant step forward in our efforts to grow our portfolio of market leading brands in all trade channels in Ireland."
"Working with Dimpco will allow us to forge strategic partnerships with electricals channel leaders in these high value categories. Dimpco are proven leaders in their field and we’re excited by the potential this partnership presents for value creation and growth in Ireland."
“Oral B currently has a 90% market share in power toothbrushes in Ireland while Braun is a global leader in male shavers and female epilators. Partnering these brands with Dimpco’s electrical channel expertise and first-class retail and customer service operations is a clear signal of our intent to invest in our brands and grow our business across all trade channels in Ireland.”
Dimpco Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Martin Byrne, said:
“We are delighted to be working with P&G and distributing Oral B and Braun through our extensive dealer network. Oral B and Braun are both globally recognisable brands with strong brand equities in Ireland, making them excellent additions to Dimpco’s existing portfolio. We will be investing immediately in developing business with our retail partners. Looking at the current portfolio of quality Oral B and Braun products, we anticipate developing a market leading position in these categories within a relatively short period.”
P&G and Dimpco will now work towards supporting both Oral B and Braun's commercial plans in the lead up to the crucial Christmas selling period in the electricals channel. The full range of products will be launched at Dimpco’s trade show
