45 PROFILE prints create a lovely background and have been so successful since their introduction. What’s your bestselling range of products? Our best-selling items are Aida fabrics and different specialised canvases but we have a broad range of items that are selling well. How often do you launch new ranges? We have two collections per year, one in spring (February) and one in autumn (September). How would you advise a retailer who is interested in stocking your products? A retailer that wants to stock our products can simply contact us directly and we will supply any needed production information on our range. What sets you apart from your competitors? We’re a company offering a full and comprehensive range of needlework fabrics including all fabric types and counts. Also, our consistent quality is definitely much appreciated by our clients worldwide. Do you visit any trade shows? We always visit H+H Cologne. How did business cope during the Covid-19 pandemic and what are your plans going forward? We had positive development during the Covid pandemic times and an incredible demand for our fabrics. We’re working and producing at full capacity and needlework really seems to be on trend. We hope this enthusiasm for needlework will further continue when we have overcome this pandemic − hopefully soon. What new products can we expect from you in the future? We will continue to be innovative with new fabrics, colours and prints. Also, we will further publish lovely needlework A5 books with beautiful designs. +49–7031–795–5 www.zweigart.de “Qual ity is key for us and we always commit to fair working conditions and fair wages.
