“We were impressed by Vandor’s reputation for creating unique/differentiated high-quality products, and we’re excited about our growth in the housewares and home business,” says Raj Malik, chief executive officer, Bioworld. “This strategic acquisition is consistent with our mission to continue to expand our business into new licenses, channels of distribution, and international markets while continuing to bring an unparalleled consumer experience across all our product categories. I am confident in our teams’ shared passion for providing consumers with products that truly embody the brands they love and look forward to the success this union will bring.”

Founded in 1957, Vandor specializes in drinkware, sculpted collectibles, kitchenware, and home décor and hundreds of new designs annually for distribution across the United States and Canada. Vandor is based in Salt Lake City, Utah with additional offices in China and The Philippines.

The acquisition will see Bioworld expand its global distribution and step further into licensing. Vandor’s design capabilities and manufacturing presence in Asia will also support Bioworld's operations.

Recently, Bioworld acquired Global Design Concepts and launched its new technology division, One61 Studio.
