ITRC inks partnership deal with aRcj Distribution and Techstyle Accessories

International & Travel Retail Consultants (ITRC) has successfully facilitated a new global partnership between aRcj Distribution Limited (UK) and Techstyle Accessories (Netherlands). The agreement grants aRcj Distribution exclusive rights to distribute DIESEL and Volkswagen branded mobile accessories and wireless speakers across the United Kingdom, Brazil, and global travel retail channels.

This collaboration brings together three complementary forces: Techstyle’s expertise in licensed tech accessory design and manufacturing, aRcj’s distribution and logistics network, and ITRC’s strategic leadership in building travel retail brand partnerships worldwide.
