Highlite International BV Announces Merger with UK Partner

After nine years of successful partnership in the UK and Ireland, Highlite International Bv is merging with its UK partner Overt Light to Sound / Highlite UK. For the last few years the two companies have been operating side by side in the UK and it makes common sense to consolidate it all under one organisation.

With Highlite's new warehouse extension in The Netherlands nearing completion, they will have the capacity of holding an extra 22,000 pallets of additional stock, taking away the need for having to hold stock in outsourced warehouses, including those in other countries.

Highlite International's CEO, Huub De la Haye commented: "We are very happy for this merger. Malcolm Burlow and his UK team have built a strong customer-based sales operation within the UK and Ireland. For the majority of our UK and Irish customers, this change will be seamless; they are already used to being able to order and check stock at a time that suits them; our focus has always been on customer service and I can only see things getting better for them."

Highlite's UK manager Malcolm Burlow said: "It makes complete economic sense to have all the stock in one place. It will make the service quicker and more efficient. Delivery times through mainland Europe have become even faster over the past few years. Customers have the option of ordering online through the webshop, the dedicated sales team or through the UK office. The only change will be the email address: sales@highliteuk.co.uk."

Highlite International look forward to welcoming all existing and new customers at the forthcoming PLASA Show in London (Stands C-40 & C-42 in Earls Court 1) 13-16 September 2009. Also, Highlite's open weekend is on the 25 and 26 September at their Kerkrade base.
