Ruffwear has broadened its existing distribution agreement with Accapi to include additional key European markets, effective Dec. 2, 2013. The maker of canine outdoor gear, headquartered in Bend, Oregon, had already partnered with Accapi for the U.K. market, and its products have been sold during the last three and a half years in France and Lithuania as well. The choice of one principal distribution partner in Europe is expected to benefit Ruffwear retailers with supply chain improvements and cost reductions. Starting December 2, Accapi will represent Ruffwear in Austria, Belgium, Channel Islands, Croatia, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Lithuania, Luxembourg, The Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Romania, Slovenia, Sweden, Switzerland, and the U.K. The Accapi Group is a U.K.-based distributor of premium brands in the outdoor, country and pet industries, including Ruffwear Performance Dog Gear, Kurgo, and Planet Dog.
