Therapedic inks deal with Stylution Interzum<br />
L icensing<br />
group Therapedic International<br />
and home furnishings producer<br />
Stylution have signed a wideranging<br />
deal that includes importation<br />
of finished mattresses from China<br />
under the Therapedic brand and a<br />
licensing agreement allowing Stylution<br />
to represent Therapedic throughout<br />
China, Japan and other parts of the<br />
Far East.<br />
The first wave of goods in the Chinese<br />
import program will arrive June<br />
15 and carry the name ComfortTouch<br />
by Therapedic. The value-priced<br />
foam and encased-coil mattresses<br />
will be roll-packed for shipment to<br />
the United States, Australia and other<br />
markets.<br />
The partnership stems from a<br />
meeting between Jack Chen, chief<br />
executive officer of Dongguan, China-<br />
66 | <strong>BedTimes</strong> | May 2009<br />
based Stylution, and Norman Rosenblatt,<br />
board chairman of Princeton,<br />
N.J.-based Therapedic. Rosenblatt’s<br />
pursuit of an original equipment<br />
manufacturing program evolved into a<br />
much larger plan after Gerry Borreggine,<br />
Therapedic president and chief<br />
executive officer, and Ed Scott, Stylution<br />
USA president, became involved.<br />
“Therapedic now has the strongest<br />
and most prestigious partner representing<br />
our brand in the Far East,”<br />
Borreggine said. “Jack, Ed and the entire<br />
Stylution team have put together<br />
a compelling product and value story<br />
for Therapedic to take to marketplaces<br />
throughout the globe.”<br />
“We have big plans for the Therapedic<br />
brand,” added Chen, who also is<br />
a licensee of the Musterring, Auping<br />
and Restonic brands in China.<br />
