King Features is activating the Nordic brand in North America for the first time, seeking partners for PURENorway in the apparel, accessories, home goods and outdoor gear categories.

“The addition of PURENorway to our portfolio expands King Features’ reach within the apparel and accessories categories while presenting us with opportunities to broaden our consumer base and do some social good,” says Carla Silva, vice president and general manager, global head of licensing, King Features. “As we build our program for retail in the U.S. and Canada, we’ll be looking for partners that value the development of quality, eco-friendly products.”
