JHS appointments new distributor for Poland

JHS is delighted to announce the appointment of Grupa ZIBI S.A. as distributor for its brands in Poland from the 1^st November 2020.

Grupa ZIBI S.A. will distribute a variety of JHS’ popular brands including Vintage® guitars, Encore® guitars, Antoni® violins and KAM® sound and lighting.

Founded in 1989 by Zbigniew Pietrzak, Grupa ZIBI S.A. quickly became a leader as importers of watches, which in turn helped in the rebuilding of the Polish economy, opening its first retail store in the prestigious district of Warsaw in1991.

One of the most important dates in the company’s history is 2004, when ZIBI became the owner of the only music store chain in Poland – Riff stores.

Currently, the musical part of the ZIBI Group is its own Riff retail chain, with 16 stores covering the entire territory of Poland and an extensive network of wholesale partners with over 100 leading music dealers.

JHS Export Manager Adam Butterworth commented, “I am pleased to appoint ZIBI as the new distributor for various JHS brands. Vintage in particular, is a brand which many Polish retailers, consumers and musicians have a strong connection to, so it’s great to have a new partner on board to grow Vintage along with the other JHS brands which are in our export portfolio.”

Krzysztof Klejnowski, of Grupa ZIBI stated, “We’re very happy to be working with JHS – the Vintage brand is a great brand and range for the Polish markets – we have many customers who will be looking forward to getting their hands on these guitars which represent excellent value for money. We’re also looking forward to extending the other brands from JHS and look forward to a long and fruitful business cooperation.”
