The manufacturer of Plymouth’s famous Trunki ride-on suitcase has teamed up with logistics firm Europa in a move to solve its post-Brexit problems exporting to Europe.
Magmatic Ltd, which is Bristol headquartered but makes the famous Trunki products at its Plymouth factory, has signed up with the specialist delivery duty paid (DDP) Europa Flow service in a bid to stop its products being held up by Brexit bureaucracy.
The company, founded by entrepreneur Rob Law who famously turned down investment on TV’s Dragons’ Den, has had its children’s suitcases “stuck at ports” due to regulations and border requirements and was looking at costly options such as setting up a European division to tackle the problem.
