By partnering with Stone and A.M.

Tombow European managing director Uwe Keuchel comments; “We have been considering for some time how to efficiently make our Tombow products available to a wider market. We have successfully worked with Simon Stone for many years mainly with major retailers, and now he will also look after our main UK wholesalers, namely Exertis and Vow. Likewise David will be our sole distributor in Ireland, and this new agreement represents a key milestone in Tombow’s efforts to expand its brand presence in the Republic of Ireland where we know there is a demand for our brand.”
