Product Hunting With Zack Zucker













India. What are we going to see from them in the lineup later on this year?
  
It is always fun to have new product to show to our friends.  Zachary spends a serious
amount of time aloft on his way to work with our factory partners. "These guys are always holding a little something back to show me when I visit" and that is part of the reason we stay at the forefront of innovative product and design. 

There is a casting company that we found, through several rounds of samples and a visit to the facility... that has produced quite a nice range of aluminum bowls and platters in mellow metallic colors that we will be featuring at the NRA show. Some of the shapes mirror our perennial best sellers, as well as several original designs. The aluminum we are using has the colorization mixed in with the raw metal, making the compound consistently colored through and through. The benefit is that any wear marks or mars in the finish will not ruin the appearance of the item.  "If these pieces are well received, we will definitely expand the amount of items we will offer".  

There are also some wine buckets that combine wood and cast iron that were sneak peaked at the Catersource show.  The common thread is that all these items are part of our Indian partnership and we are very excited to see how our customers will receive them.
