British accessories manufacturer STK has signed a distribution deal with US retail chain Walmart where its products will be sold across stores in Mexico.
The Middlesex-based company’s Flasko Bluetooth speaker will be sold through Walmart’s 2,306 Mexican branches. It is IPX5 certified, which means it is both dust and water resistant. The accessory can also be carried hands-free with an attached clip, which also doubles as a bottle opener. The speaker offers up to six-hours of playback time.
STK handsets are also being sold at Elektra, a Mexican retail chain. Devices include the Galactic 6; a 3G 6-inch phone with a 13MP camera and 16GB of internal memory. Hero 6 and Hero X smartphones are also being stocked in Elektra branches.
STK director of business development Henri Salameh said: “We are signing reputable retailers quarterly and introducing more of our portfolio into the region. We’re pleased with the results and will continue to invest in our marketing and people on the ground to make STK the consumers brand of choice.”
