I don't think Villeroy & Boch, Wedgwood, Riedel or Sambonet need to worry just yet. But, for low-mid level tabletop items, IKEA is growing as a source. For those companies not adding value to the supply chain....you had better pay attention.
New Restaurant Supplier?04/11/2011 Ok....so they are not finding their way to the best tables in town....but don't think restaurant owners and managers are not picking things up here - they are. From wine glasses to candle votives - even bar supplies - smart operators are shopping IKEA. I don't think Villeroy & Boch, Wedgwood, Riedel or Sambonet need to worry just yet. But, for low-mid level tabletop items, IKEA is growing as a source. For those companies not adding value to the supply chain....you had better pay attention. |
