Rome Industries Inc. has signed two exclusive contracts to distribute its outdoor cookware in the UK, Ireland and the Benelux countries.


Servicing wholesale accounts in the UK and Ireland will be Grakka Ltd. of Totnes, England. Grakka has established itself as a responsive and knowledgeable distributor to the outdoor cooking, bar-b-que & leisure industry. The Rome product line was introduced to the UK market by Grakka at the recently concluded GLEE trade fair in Birmingham England to strong dealer response.


Exclusive distribution of Rome products in the Netherlands, Belgium & Luxembourg will be provided by Qvist Outdoor Products of Zwolle, Netherlands. Completely focused on traditional open fire cooking, Qvist is a perfect fit for Rome’s nostalgic cast iron pie irons.


In addition to wholesale sales, both Grakka and Qvist have b2c webshops that will support the immediate consumer demand for Rome products before the dealer network is well established. These two distributors build on Rome’s well established Scandinavian presence handled by distributor partner, Danish Outdoor of Tommerup, Denmark.


A family owned and operated business since 1964, Peoria IL-based Rome Industries is best known for their wide selection of fun and original cookware for open fire use including Pie Irons, the Marshmallow Tree and the S’more Maker.
