Job Details

Hugworld International Distributions SL is a young company, privately owned and formed in Madrid 15 years ago, specialising in the design, production and sale of Home Fragrance products.

With a turnover of €20m, they hold the prestigious market leadership role, with the No.1 Reed Diffuser and No.1 Car Freshener in the Spanish market. Distribution is widespread across major grocers, garden centres, department stores, and convenience stores.

In 2016, we embarked on a global expansion programme which has now seen sales and marketing subsidiaries set up in the UK, France and Mexico, with new distributor agreements signed in Russia and China.

Products range from 18ml to 180ml Reed Diffusers, Car Fresheners and Candles, with a solid and exciting innovation funnel from the design team to develop and launch new formats to each sector.

Hugworld Cristalinas UK Limited is based in the outskirts of Manchester, and already boasts several leading Grocers amongst its client base.
