BLAUPUNKT and Homemark kick-off operational business in Sandton, South Africa
Shortly following the contract signature in September 2022 Thorsten Gebhardt and Norman Pralow representing the BLAUPUNKT brand met with the entire management team of HOMEMARK at their headquarters in South Africa.
The kick-off meeting included discussions regarding the product line, how the brand will be positioned in the region, and the creation of brand assets.
HOMEMARK in cooperation with the BLAUPUNKT brand will develop and market an extensive line-up of televisions, home and personal audio products, small domestic appliances, and lighting solutions. The range will be designed with the specific needs of the region and its consumers in mind to fit the demands flawlessly. HOMEMARK is currently the only official licensee in Africa authorized to distribute BLAUPUNKT products in these categories.
In addition to major retail chains in Africa, such as Pick n Pay, consumers will also be able to find the exclusive line-up of BLAUPUNKT products at HOMEMARK’s network of online and physical stores.
More details about the portfolio will soon be available at BLAUPUNKT.com
