Shropshire company expands global client base as business booms

A Shropshire company is expanding its global client base by welcoming four new international distributors in Canada, Greece, Singapore and Korea.

The move by Jesmonite is part of a plan to establish 20 new distributors worldwide in the next 12 months as the company continues to grow.

Jesmonite, based in Bishop’s Castle, produces a multi-purpose flexible product which can mimic any material and colour used in architecture, construction, arts and crafts.

The company’s four new distributors are Casting Co in Singapore and South East Asia, Fibertek in Canada, Kaster in Korea, and Silgram in Greece.

Tim Sharman, Jesmonite sales director, said: “These are exciting times for the company as we continue our international expansion and are delighted to announce these partnerships which establish our first distribution base in four different areas of the world.

“The reputation of Jesmonite is growing as more and more people realise its advantages and we need new distributors to meet the increasing demand for our product – in April, May and June this year between 60-80% of our sales were going overseas.

“Our aim now is to get 20 new distributors worldwide within the next year – a move which has already been greatly helped by the launch of our YouTube channel showcasing what Jesmonite is all about.”
