The Army Painter – 532% growth on Amazon in just 1 year

Who is The Army Painter?

The Army Painter produces and develops paint and equipment for wargamers. Bo and Jonas, founders of The Army Painter, wanted to make it easy for anyone to start playing so they developed some of the most user-friendly paint and equipment. Since their launch in 2007, The Army Painter has gotten a huge amount of interest from U.S. customers.

Why?

The company has secured large portions of the U.S. market with their American collaborator and saw great potential in Europe. With a wish to handle sales in Europe more independently, they were looking for a partner with expertise in Amazon Europe, who could manage the expansion across all European markets; a partner with experience in e-commerce, logistics and the everyday hurdles on Amazon.
