The Four Corners Company is one of the market leaders in the Irish and British houseware markets. The company designs, identifies, sources and delivers a range of products, including cutlery, cookware, knives, tools, lighting and tableware to its retail partners, using its well-recognised brand "Gourmet's Pride".

The managing director of Four Corners, Dermot Ferris, said, "The city's strategic location, availability of first-class logistics support and established infrastructure make Hong Kong the ideal choice for setting up our important base in the region."

"The houseware market is fluid and fast changing. Four Corners recognises and understands the increasing demand for quality and contemporary products. Our recently expanded sourcing, logistics and factory audit team, which operates from Hong Kong, will ensure that we are close to the pulse of manufacturing and product development. The team will also be responsible for ensuring that we are always compliant with required product standards and adhere to agreed production schedules," said Mr Ferris.

Supported by the Gowan Group and ACT Venture Capital, The Four Corners Company has established offices in Asia and Europe.

The Associate Director-General of Investment Promotion at Invest Hong Kong, Mark Michelson, said for more than a decade, Hong Kong has been serving as the important regional sourcing and logistics hub for international companies from a variety of sectors.

"We enjoy a strategic location as part of China and in the heart of Asia, strong experience and understanding of the manufacturing scene in the Mainland, as well as a mature logistics and transportation network connected to the rest of the world. These attributes continue to be recognised by leading companies like Kitchenware and attract them to invest in Hong Kong."
