A new month means a new Brand of the Month; for February, we’ve chosen Vivanco!
A Brief History of Vivanco
Founded in the 1920s in Hamburg, Germany, Vivanco became a technical accessories specialist in the 1970s. Vivanco Gruppe AG now operates within six subsidiaries across Europe, and with over twenty-five distributors worldwide.
Vivanco UK was established in 1991, currently operating out of their head office within Bedfordshire whilst coordinating distribution from their UK site in Berkshire and European site in Ahrensburg, Germany. With a portfolio of over 3000 products, Vivanco pride themselves in being a one-stop-shop for all things attachment within the consumer electronics industry. If you have device, Vivanco will have an accessory. Whether it’s a TV Mount to install your new TV, or a charging device to bring your phone or tablet back to life, Vivanco will have the product you need.
Quality at Affordable Prices
The world of consumer electronics can be a minefield when it comes to quality. With online sales and marketplaces having an ever-growing presence, it can enable easy access to low-quality product. We have all seen the news stories of uncertified chargers catching fire and customers buying products that require replacing soon after. The “buy it cheap, buy it twice” theory is certainly a real one.
At Vivanco, they have always taken an extremely diligent and thorough approach to quality management when it comes to their products. Manufacturing companies must undergo a multi-stage audit system before entering into a business relationship with Vivanco, which checks not only CSR criteria but also quality management and product-compliant aspects. Not being reliant on this, they also have their own in-house quality control team in Germany where all products are rigorously tested before being allowed to go to market. Further to this, Vivanco have just chosen SEDEX as their trusted partner to create more socially and environmentally sustainable businesses and supply chains. All of that to say: HBH Woolacotts and our accessories partner Vivanco provide high quality reliable products at affordable prices.
Vivanco and HBH Woolacotts
At HBH Woolacotts our relationship with Vivanco is a long-standing one. Vivanco have been our accessories partner for over 20 years. Supplying us across many categories including Cables & Connections (Audio, Video, Aerial & Computer), IT and Mobile accessories and TV Mounts, where they have over 30+ premium solutions across the Vivanco and Titan range – suitable for all TVs up to 85”.
It is certainly not a distant relationship, as Vivanco regularly visit all our stores to ensure we have all we need in the accessories department for our customers and our sales staff are up to speed on Vivanco products. We have recently installed a TV Mount in store display at our Plymouth store which helps our sales team show customers the different types of TV Wall mount we can offer.
