The Acquisition will leverage Mandarin’s 130-person team to replicate Trevco’s explosive US e-commerce model in the UK and Europe, making Trevco the only semi-global e-commerce print-on-demand (POD) technology solution provider for licensed consumer products and direct to consumer branded ecomm shops.

Trevco announced its acquisition of Mandarin International Brands (MIB), the UK & Europe leader in offering e-commerce solutions to licensed IP, including turn-key fully integrated product design, photography, marketing, sourcing, manufacturing, decorating, warehousing, & fulfillment.

MIB designs and sells its products through Amazon UK and Europe, Vente Privee, Zalando, to name a few. Trevco will leverage its proprietary technology, “T-Commerce” and digital advertising technologies to scale Mandarin’s already impressive UK and European footprint across direct-to-consumer and wholesale ecommerce channels.

The acquisition will also enable Trevco’s ecommerce direct to consumer brand webstore offering to now span globally, making Trevco the only vertically integrated, print on demand company who can design, develop, and fulfill a licensed brand’s direct to consumer web store.

Trevco will further invest $10 million into the United Kingdom and Central Europe over the next 24 months, expanding its apparel and non-apparel print-on-demand capabilities. This will give UK and European based licensed IP and customers access to nearly 1200 new print on demand product types across fashion, home, drinkware & accessories. Trevco will also offer its premium brands, SuburbanRiot and Popfunk, to UK & European customers.

“After getting to know the management team at Mandarin, and spending time in London, the UK, and Europe, it became clear that e-commerce was on the precipice of exploding, just like it did here in the USA 5 years ago. It’s like déjà vu for us at Trevco. We’ve seen ecommerce evolve in the licensed space, we created the playbook of how to win, and we are excited to repeat in the UK & Europe”, says Trevco’s CEO, Trevor George.

Trevco’s UK & Europe division will be run by the existing UK based Directors, Matthew Mackay and Stephen Nelson, who have both been at the company for over 15 years.

“TREVCO’S Acquisition is very exciting for all associated with Mandarin, especially our licensed partners. It’s going to accelerate our growth in both existing & new sales channels, while adding significant new dimensions to our vertically integrated group” says Directors Matthew Mackay and Stephen Nelson.
