NEWS RELEASE
MEBANE, North Carolina – Luxury bedding manufacturer Kingsdown, Inc. has signed a new licensing agreement with Spring Tech, a manufacturer of premium bedding and upholstered furniture based in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). Spring Tech will manufacture and distribute to retailers in the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Oman, Kuwait and Bahrain and Kenya in East Africa.
Spring Tech is expected to start manufacturing Kingsdown mattress collections, including Vintage, Passions, Prime and K2 by Kingsdown. The collections will be distributed through retail partners, with a focus on big-box dealers, as well as select hospitality and commercial channels across the licensed territory.
With manufacturing experience dating back to the 1990s, Spring Tech has built its business across bedding and joinery, serving independent retailers, large retail chains, hotel operators and hospitality projects from its UAE manufacturing base. The company produces mattresses, upholstered beds, headboards and related bedding products for customers across the region.
Spring Tech’s existing relationships with regional retailers and hotel operators, combined with local manufacturing capacity in the UAE, positions the company to accelerate Kingsdown’s expansion across the licensed territory.
“Spring Tech is the ideal licensee to represent Kingsdown in the Middle East and East Africa with its expertise as a quality manufacturer, a strong retail focus and deep hospitality credentials across the region. Our companies share a commitment to quality, comfort and craftsmanship, and we are proud to welcome Spring Tech as a Kingsdown licensee,” said Frank Hood, president and CEO of Kingsdown.
“We are honored to partner with Kingsdown and excited to bring more than a century of American sleep heritage to consumers across the region,” said Nishant John Faria, managing director of Spring Tech. “Manufacturing Kingsdown mattresses locally in the UAE allows us to deliver that heritage to regional retailers with the lead times and service standards the Middle East and East African market expects—a combination we believe will set a new benchmark for premium sleep in our territory.”
