BLE Confirms New Exhibitors, Including Arsenal and PUMA

Brand Licensing Europe - October 2013

 
BLE, the Advanstar organised exhibition, has confirmed a host of new exhibitors just two weeks before the show is due to take place for the 15th year. Arsenal Football Club and PUMA SE have joined the Brands Zone together with Extreme Sports Company and Kitbag, which represents Everton, Manchester City, Nottingham Forest and Sunderland football clubs.

PUMA’s Claudia Freudenberg said: “PUMA will showcase its licensing collaborations and partnerships within key categories, such as eyewear, watches, fragrances and safety shoes, at the Brand Licensing Expo in London. This is a great opportunity for licensees, licensors, retailers and distributors to gain an insight into PUMA’s licensed products and discuss possible future relationships.”

Elsewhere on the show floor Ragdoll Worldwide and The Rastamouse Company have joined the Character & Entertainment Zone in what is shaping up to be the most diverse Brand Licensing show yet.

BLE event director Darren Brechin said: “It’s good news that companies are still signing up to exhibit at BLE this year. It’s a sign of confidence in the market and it means there will be even more for our retail and manufacturing visitors to see. We wish Arsenal, Extreme Sports Company, Kitbag, PUMA, Ragdoll and Rastamouse a very successful show.”

Brand Licensing Europe 2013, takes place from 15th – 17th October 2013 at London’s Olympia.
