Global (office) furniture manufacturer Teknion has entered into a strategic partnership with the British furniture brand Modus. The partnership unites two brands each with a distinct design heritage and strong sustainability drive. This investment in Modus expands Teknion's future global portfolio of social and collaborative products while supporting the Modus international growth plan.
Teknion has a history of carefully building strategic partnerships that diversify its product offerings and draw on the unique strengths of its partners. Through a powerful sustainability narrative, Modus has earned an industry leading reputation within the UK. It is the first British manufacturer to become a Teknion alliance partner and its manufacturing facility in Somerset further enhances Teknion's global supply chain capabilities.
'We are very selective in our strategic partnerships and Modus shares our high standards for design, quality, craft, and sustainability,' says David Feldberg, President and CEO of Teknion. 'A passion for design connects Modus to Teknion and their focus on social and collaborative collections make them a natural fit. It's exciting to be welcoming Modus into the Teknion family.'
'We are really excited about this new venture,' said Modus Managing Director, Jon Powell. '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. For Teknion, our portfolio meets the demand for a softer, more inclusive, and collaborative workplace.'
Modus will continue to operate as an independent company while retaining its own brand. It will continue to support its existing dealer network in addition to enabling Teknion's sustainability and growth plans.
