TYPHOON PLUS INC,
SUPPLIER OF LEADING EDGE HOUSEWARES
BRANDS FOR KITCHEN & HOME.
TYPHOON PLUS INC, was founded in January
2008 by housewares industry duo Simon Kirby and Peter Carter
after their successful acquisition of Typhoon US, the established
American subsidiary of European brand Typhoon®. With this
new partnership comes a new name as well as some refreshing changes
to the product line and a whole new look for the website, www.typhoonplus.com
from March 2008. The introduction of some exciting new brands
that compliment the Typhoon® line will offer retailers a
greater diversity across some additional Housewares categories,
and ensures that Typhoon Plus, Inc will be a name to watch throughout
2008.
TYPHOON®
was founded in the UK in 1991 and started life as a European
distributor of woks and Asian accessories. Since then they have
become widely recognized as the first choice for stylish, innovative
and unique products that are created by an in-house UK based
design team who use a responsibly sourced combination of components
and materials, to create exciting homewares products at exceptional
value for the money. Typhoon® are utterly committed
to their "designed to perform" mission and as such
the Typhoon® family of products has grown to include
kitchen scales, linens, tea and coffee accessories, woodware,
and oil drizzlers, along with best selling collections such as
the award winning Vintage Kitchen line, Retro Revolution
and Capsule lines. New additions for 2008 to the Typhoon®
brand of products include Crush Grind mills and an exciting
