Palmer Agencies, the leading import and distribution company specialising in quality party and Halloween merchandise, has been appointed by Mexico’s globally renowned Ghoulish Productions to exclusively manage its UK and Ireland business with immediate effect.
Founded more than 50 years ago, Palmer Agencies has established itself as a leading importer and distributor of specialist party and Halloween products. With a focus on providing superior quality lines, the family-run business headquartered in Belfast, prides itself on providing customers with an unrivalled experience of high-quality service and a friendly approach to business.
Palmer Agencies’ appointment comes as the established Mexican producer seeks to expand its international footprint in the UK and Ireland. Having known each other through the industry network, the two companies recognise they have a harmonious approach to business with both being privately-owned and managed, along with a mutual understanding of producing quality products that are delivered to market with reliability and integrity.
Ghoulish Productions, founded by Rafael Esponda Vila, has been producing masks, costumes, party lines and detailed sculpted products for more than seventy years. The quality of their products has led them to work with trailblazers like Mario Chiodo; furthermore, the creation of the patented revolutionary ‘perfect fit’ products of latex masks, which fit seamlessly to the face, has gained the business worldwide recognition for excellence and innovation. With a distribution footprint including Italy, France, Spain, Germany and the Middle East, the appointment of Palmer Agencies is Ghoulish Productions’ next step for international growth.
Commenting on the appointment, Sergio Battaner, sales and marketing director at Palmer Agencies said: “Just like the masks that are manufactured by Ghoulish the partnership between our two business is the “Perfect Fit”!. Both family run companies, we have a mutual understanding on the importance of value quality products, superb service and market honesty with our customers. I look forward to bringing Ghoulish Masks to market and establishing them as the number one choice in the UK and Irish markets. The Ghoulish lines are a superb addition to our offering and I’m very excited about the year ahead!”
He concludes: “With the Hellraiser mask now in our range, we’re going to raise some more hell in the market!”
Esteban Esponda, commercial director at Ghoulish Productions adds: “Palmer Agencies was a natural and obvious choice for us but, most importantly, the right partner for us in the UK and Ireland. They have a strong and well-established distribution network having been in the business for many years and this will be crucial in helping to establish our brand in this market.”
