Capi Europe agrees UK distribution deal with Treadstone

 

Capi Europe, the internationally renowned designer and manufacturer of stylish, sustainable pots and planters, has announced a new distribution partnership with UK-based Treadstone Products. The agreement brings the exciting Capi range to the UK market with local supply, significantly reducing lead times and minimum order values (MOV) for retailers.

 

Under this new agreement, Treadstone Products will serve as the exclusive distributor of Capi Europe’s collection in the UK, enabling garden centres and retailers to order from a UK-based warehouse. This streamlined supply chain will provide greater flexibility and faster access to the innovative Capi range, known for its striking designs and eco-conscious manufacturing.

 

The partnership also allows retailers to mix the Capi collection with other products from Treadstone’s award-winning garden portfolio, including the best-selling ClipGlove range, making ordering simpler and more efficient.

 

In a reciprocal agreement, Capi will become the sole distributor of the ClipGlove brand in Benelux, Germany & Austria.

 

"This is a significant step for our UK strategy," said Toine van de Ven, Managing Director at Capi Europe. "By partnering with Treadstone, we’re making our products more accessible to UK retailers, while aligning with a company that shares our values for quality, innovation, and sustainability."

 

Treadstone Products, known for its commitment to quality garden innovations, sees the collaboration as a natural fit. "Capi Pots are a fantastic addition to our portfolio," said Marco Abbiati, Managing Director at Treadstone Products. "This partnership gives UK retailers access to a unique, design-led pot range with the convenience of UK-based service and logistics. We're excited to be working with such an innovative brand."

 

The 2026 season will see Treadstone distributing pots to existing Capi stockists, whilst the two companies prepare for a launch of a revamped collection and innovative new product category at GLEE 2026. 

 

Retailers interested in the Capi range can contact Treadstone Products for more information: sales@treadstoneproducts.com
