The Kitchen Bathroom Buying Group (KBBG) recently welcomed six new supplier partners, further increasing the number of products available to its members.
German kitchen furniture manufacturer Schüller is joining the buying group, bringing its portfolio of worktops, fronts, shelves and storage solutions. In addition, KBBG members will also be able to access the company’s living rooms, utility rooms, pantries, wardrobes and home working solutions.
Marking the group’s first flooring brand partner, the KBBG has also added engineered vinyl flooring supplier KlickFloor to its ranks, which brings its three distinct product ranges for members.
The KBBG has also welcomed Italian kitchen brand Stosa Cucine, which offers both modern and classic kitchen styles in a variety of finishes.
For those interested in the outdoor living spaces market, the 4 Seasons Outdoor has also joined the buying group, which provides luxury outdoor furniture designed for year-round use.
UK-based partition, door and room divider brand Patishon has also joined the KBBG as a supplier. According to the company, it has also structured its offering to be as simple as possible for showrooms to take advantage of the products’ use in kitchens and kitchen-adjacent spaces.
Finally, worktop and decorative surface distributor Blackheath Products is also now part of the buying group. The company has been trading for over 90 years, and provides solid surfacing and decorative surfaces as well as kitchen and bathroom products.
“We are delighted to welcome so many fantastic new suppliers to our portfolio and it’s great to have them on board ahead of our Annual Members’ Meeting in June,” commented Owain Harrison, managing director of the KBBG.
“These new partnerships reflect our ongoing commitment to expanding the breadth and quality of our offering for independent KBB retailers. Each of these suppliers brings something new to the table, whether that’s innovative design, exceptional craftsmanship, or new product categories for our members to explore.
“As consumer expectations continue to evolve, it’s vital that our members have access to fresh ideas and opportunities that help them stay ahead of the curve.”
Harrison stepped up to become the buying group’s new MD at the end of last year, after his predecessor, Bill Miller, announced he would be retiring at the end of 2024.
