Following the comments from Dr Sara Hurley, chief dental officer last
week, Fuzzy Brush are pleased to announce further initiatives in raising the
awareness of the importance of dental hygiene for both the UK and foreign
markets.
Fuzzy Brush has long been known for the chewable toothbrushes it
supplies to the hospitality, travel, leisure and airline industries. Now
however with new product ranges Fuzzy Rock Coolmint, Fuzzy Rock Peppermint and Fuzzy
Rock “Bubble Yum” for kids Fuzzy Brush has branched out into the retail market.
All of their products contain xylitol, which promotes dental
health by helping to neutralise plaque acidity on teeth and
repairing tooth enamel, this is used widely in many FDA approved dental
products.
Further establishing product credibility the company has already gone
through processes necessary under food and drink administration legislation.
Just over 20 years ago Fuzzy Brush was launched in the UK, today sees
the company expand into the Asian market place, following an unprecedented deal
with South Korea.
Export sales have increased by 1,100% as a result of the negotiations
and Fuzzy Brush is set to expand massively in 2017.
Fuzzy Brush founder Jim Drew said: “We’re now investing in equipment to
make sure we can keep up with incredibly high levels of demand. There’s a big government drive in South Korea
towards xylitol products for dental health and we have gone from selling 10,000
packets of Fuzzy Rock a month there to selling 120,000 packets every month.
Our unusual product helps us to reach children and provide a fun way to
keep their teeth clean between brushing or for when they’re on the go. We are
keen to promote healthy teeth worldwide and believe prevention is far better
than a trip to the dentist!”
Fuzzy Brush also supplies more than 1500 stores in the UK, including Asda,
Morrisons Superdrug, Boots and Lloyds Pharmacists, and are discussing the
release of a number of new products in 2017-2018 to facilitate demand from
others.
As we move out of 2016 Fuzzy Brush is pleased to announce additional
contracts now in Germany, Czech Republic, Australia, Japan, South Korea the
USA, Spain, France and Switzeland and with many others in the pipeline.
There is no stopping
this UK company, proudly displaying the Union Jack on it’s packaging.
Jim says “I think the Union Jack represents quality and a high standard
and we’re proud to be manufacturing in the UK.”
Headquartered in London, all of Fuzzy Brush’s products are made in the
UK, at two manufacturing plants in the Midlands and Surrey, before being
packaged in County Durham.
He said: “For a while demand became so great that we had to turn orders
away, the new investment in bespoke equipment means we can take the business to
the next level. It is snowballing. There is clearly a push now for better
dental care in the UK with initiatives such as Smile4life, but we also feel that it is a
global issue an we hope we can do more to be involved.”
