Gowan Home Rebrand 2023
Our 2023 rebrand underscores our commitment to diverse, dynamic product categories, with the concept of “Home” highlighting our expertise and comprehensive Irish brand portfolio. The new tagline, Growing Global Brands Locally, reflects our vision of nurturing international brands in Ireland.
As brand owners ourselves with NordMende, we have a unique insight into the workings of a successful brand in this marketplace. We bring first-hand insight into brand success, going beyond distribution to provide full support and services.
Incorporating “Gowan” strengthens our connection to our parent, Gowan Group, aligning us with their focus on elevating premium brands and creating a unified identity.
Investing for the Future
Alongside our rebrand, we have invested heavily in our Advisory Centre and Training facilities in Citywest, Dublin. Backed by Gowan Group’s resources, we are expanding our operational capacity and continuing to develop innovative solutions to meet the evolving needs of the Home market.
