1on1 Wholesale, Spartacus Found Success in Berlin

PORTLAND, Ore. — BDSM manufacturer Spartacus Enterprises and 101wholesale.co.uk both reported a successful run at 11th annual Venus fair tradeshow in Berlin.

Many European distributors and shop owners, such as the major U.K. distributor 1on1wholesale.co.uk, attended the fair.

1on1wholesale.co.uk PR Manager Monique Carty said, "It's always great to have the opportunity to meet with our suppliers face to face and Venus is a fantastic environment to do so."

Carty also shares her reaction to Spartacus: "The Spartacus range really stood out for me this year and we're very excited to be a U.K. distributor."

This was Spartacus' first time hosting a booth at a European trade fair.

"Up until this year, our business has been primarily U.S.-based," Spartacus President Stephen Bergquist said. "We learned a lot about the European market at Venus. We've learned more about the major distributors and their needs."

Spartacus Sales and Marketing Coordinator Alice Beckett said, "Now that we are doing business with some major European distributors, such as ST Rubber and 1on1wholesale.co.uk, it will only get easier for the typical international buyer to pick up our products. International distribution is really the key for a U.S. manufacturer doing business abroad.

"1on1wholesale.co.uk is willing to specially order anything from Spartacus for their customers, which is a huge service. We are very happy that they're willing to serve their customers in this way."
