The family-owned company based in Rellingen near Hamburg has remained silent about its brand portfolio for a long time. There has been a great deal of speculation. Brothers Adam and Daniel Kohlhase have now revealed the secret by announcing that they will be handling the distribution of Skel Ton and Gilbert de Montsalvat products with immediate effect. Two industry favorites are thus joining the portfolio of M. K. & Söhne.
Behind the Gilbert de Montsalvat brand is the Swiss entrepreneur and connoisseur Raymondo Bernasconi, who has just celebrated the 15th anniversary of his company. For well over twenty years, he has been on friendly terms and maintained business links with the Kohlhase family.
Together with Dirk Richter, Area Sales Manager for Northern Germany at M. K. & Söhne, Raymondo has embarked on a promotional tour this week.
Tonio Neugebauer has single-handedly managed to carve out a firm place in the competitive cigar market with his Skel Ton brand, ranking high on the bestseller lists. Due to growing demand and limited capacity, he logically turned to the Kohlhase brothers to secure the services of a logistics specialist and distribution professional for his brand and gain more visibility.
»We are very fortunate to work in an industry where the owners are passionate and dedicated. They are people who go beyond their own limits. Who want to make a difference. Who have a story to tell. Who have given up their secure job to pursue their passion. This both impresses and motivates us. Tonio and Raymondo are no exception in this regard. Being able to work with such talented people is gift. They are the beating heart of our industry. That is why we are delighted that Gilbert de Montsalvat and Skel Ton have made this start. The brands have considerable potential on the German market. Together we will shape the future,« said Adam and Daniel Kohlhase.
At the same time, the team around Adam and Daniel Kohlhase is rapidly growing. The crew consists mainly of old companions. »We are grateful for and overwhelmed by the loyalty. Every single member brings their own unique skills to the role and is highly motivated to contribute to the success of M. K. & Söhne. There is a fantastic team spirit here and we really value the ideas and experiences of our colleagues.«
Orders for the Skel Ton brand will be taken from 12.08.2024, while Gilbert de Montsalvat products will be available in the course of next week (week 33).
