Modus has become the first British manufacturer to become a partner of Teknion, which will see it boost its international presence and cut carbon footprints.
Modus’ manufacturing facility in Somerset will enable the Canadian manufacturer to significantly reduce the carbon footprint of its products for the UK and European markets while the investment will support Modus’ growth plans.
Modus will continue to operate as an independent company, retaining its own brand and servicing its dealer network whilst expanding its international reach.
‘We are really excited about this new venture,’ says Jon Powell, Modus md. ‘Our companies share an entrepreneurial spirit with a long history of working with some of the world’s leading designers. Design has always been central to our philosophy, and we are very happy to be partnering with a global manufacturer that understands the value of great design.
‘Teknion has a significant global presence, and we expect to see the partnership drive strong growth for Modus.’
‘We are very selective in our strategic partnerships and Modus shares our high standards for design, quality, craft, and sustainability,’ says David Feldberg, Teknion president and ceo.
‘A passion for design connects Modus to Teknion and their focus on social and collaborative collections makes them a natural fit. It’s exciting to be welcoming Modus into the Teknion family.’
