Newtownards Firm Expands Into The Netherlands
Newtownards-based Shnuggle, an innovative developer of baby products, has been assisted by Invest Northern Ireland to expand into the Netherlands.
The company, formed by husband and wife team Adam and Sinead Murphy, has linked up with Pretura, a Dutch specialist in quality bedding, textiles and travel accessories for babies and young children. The partnership will focus on marketing the award winning Shnuggle baby product, a new type of safer, stronger and more hygienic moses basket.
Dr Kell said: "Shnuggle's expansion into the Netherlands is an excellent example of the very practical support that we provide, particularly for smaller companies taking their first steps into a market outside Northern Ireland.
"Moving into export channels can sometimes seem a bit daunting for such businesses. What we offer is expert guidance in the market from experienced professionals who can help them find the right partner on the ground.
"We are able to help companies develop skills and knowledge through workshops, country visits and help with identifying potential partners. In the case of Shnuggle, we specifically helped the company to build contacts in the Netherlands."
