CampPlus Merges with Finkota<br />
CAMPPLUS,<br />
MANUFACTURER of<br />
the Duo and Solo ensuite<br />
pods, has joined<br />
forces with Finkota,<br />
a German producer<br />
of ‘Glamping Barrels’,<br />
Gypsy wagons and<br />
Gypsy caravans in<br />
Germany and other<br />
European countries.<br />
The Glamping Barrel<br />
is fast becoming a very<br />
popular glamping accommodation in mainland Europe. In the six years since<br />
its introduction, Finkota has sold over 600 Barrels to more than 150 campsites.<br />
Legoland Denmark has installed 30 Barrels and Legoland Germany, 39.<br />
On the merger, Gerhard Forster of Finkota said: “The CampPlus en-suite<br />
units make our glamping range complete. We have sent out a mailing about<br />
them and the response has been overwhelming. We believe they could be a key<br />
product in our range.”<br />
CampPlus will be marketing the Finkota Glamping Barrels in the UK. Erik<br />
Verwaaijen of CampPlus said: “There was an immediate click with Gerhard and<br />
there is already a lot of synergy between our companies. I really look forward to<br />
introducing the Glamping Barrels to the UK market at the Glamping Show. They<br />
are fun, spacious, cosy and very comfortable. They are very well built and offer<br />
a very good return on investment.” View a Glamping Barrel on Stand 17 at the<br />
