In 2005, with its 175th anniversary fast approaching, Winsor & Newton decided to launch a new merchandising system. Six P-O-P suppliers were invited to tender for the contract, and in 2006, after several rounds of highly competitive presentations, WP Display was selected as Winsor & Newton’s supply partner. Through the course of the project, we demonstrated that we offer a total project management service, from first concept through to delivery.

Production

• Drawings were created for over 100 parts;
• Models and prototypes were built;
• Designs were finalised and every component was tested;
• The system—flat-pack and self-assembly—was unveiled to senior management (November 2006, in France);
• The system was introduced to the trade (February 2007, in Frankfurt), and launched shortly thereafter.

Programme

• Assembly instructions with text and photographs were produced;
• We trained Winsor & Newton’s in-house installation team and accompanied them to initial installations;
• We offered on-the-job training and support.

Today

• Stock is held at our warehouse;
• Delivery to the client is made on a weekly basis, against specific orders per component, meeting JIT requirements.
