Sales of glassware to and from the far east have expanded in recent years. Though exports have decreased from Japan, imports from certain European countries have increased. Japanese imports of tableware products were expected to increase in the last year or so, despite strong competition from home-based suppliers. The U.K. glassware market has recently grown, reaching a value of £323 million. Glassware can be categorized into three types: soda lime, crystal and heat resistant. Crystal still performs well in the giftware market. It has benefited from improvements in the UK tourism market, as well as for the need for special occasion giftware, such as that for weddings and anniversaries. Proteus has many years experience in providing warehouse management solutions for the crystal glassware and pottery giftware market. Our understanding of the solutions needed for this specialised market sector enable us to provide software solutions that your giftware business needs. |
