R&M International Trending in 2019 By Stacey Godshall, Marketing Associate, R&M International R&M International has enjoyed success in the housewares industry for over a quarter century as a worldwide supplier of high-quality cookie cutters, kitchen gadgets and affordable cooking and bak- ing products, servicing the independent retailers and big box stores alike. Under new ownership since 2016, R&M President and Chief Executive Officer Jason Sanders and General Manager Jen Girard have brought a fresh and more modern approach to R&M, leading the company to new levels year after year. When asked for the reason behind their steady and substantial growth over the past three years, their answers were the same: new markets, new packaging, new product categories, merchandising options, paying close attention to trends and above all else, lis- tening to their customers. One substantial contributor to its growth has been success with grocery chains. R&M attributes this to its consid- erable selection of seasonal cookie cut- ters and cookie cutter sets as well as the addition of merchandising vehicles like clipstrips and floor displays for its kitchen gadgets and cookie cutters. While many retailers may perceive cookie cutters as a seasonal assortment in their stores, R&M knows firsthand that cookie cutters are an everyday business. With the increasing popularity and accessibility of DIY cookie and cake decorating through vehicles such as YouTube, Pinterest and other social media outlets, R&M has seen consis- tent growth during times of the year when sales had previously been slow. This is where emphasizing on trends bears fruit for R&M, with the addition of themed decorating sets, which gives the consumer the shapes and ideas they need to create cookies, cakes and cupcakes. The most popular decorating sets to date have been the unicorn and mermaid sets. As an industry leader in cookie cut- ters and paired with the successful expan- sion of the range of decorating kits, R&M is excited to introduce its new Decorator Collection in 2019. This is a collection of decorating tools for icing and fondant, focused on the novice cookie and cake decorator who enjoys DIY baking and decorating. R&M invites you to view its extensive product range in booth #S1907. If you would like more information, visit www.randm.us or you can contact R&M at sales@randm.us or call 800.401.0101.

Famous Picardie Tumblers are Modern and Bold in Black The classic French Picardie tumbler is now available in a modern, stunning black. This black, 8-3/4-ounce beauty is called Soft Touch. The outside of the glass is a smooth, matte black and the inside of the glass is a high-gloss, shiny black. The contrast in texture adds dimension to the glass and plays with the ambient light. This new Picardie tumbler is made in the classic, often-imitated design that's a pleasure to hold and that feels comfort- able on the lip. The tumbler is practical, elegant and modern. Made in France, of course, Soft Touch elevates a traditional table design and warms a casual table design. Like fashion, black glassware goes with everything. A set of six Soft Touch tumblers retails for $36. These tumblers, like all Picardie glassware, are made in France from tem- pered glass – a durable, nonporous mate- rial that is two-and-a-half times stronger than ordinary glass. Duralex glasses are stack- able and safe – if broken, they shatter into small chunks rather than jagged shards – and are microwave-, freezer- and dishwasher-safe. Picardie glasses are recognized throughout France, and remain the icon of French taverns, bistros and inns, as all Frenchmen and Frenchwomen grew up with Picardie glasses in their homes, school cafeterias and restaurants. They are used for coffee, tea, wine, cocktails and as all-purpose drinking glasses. Picardie tumblers are made by Duralex, which has been manufac- turing tempered glassware, through a process it invented, in the heart of France since 1945. Duralex is the only glass manufac- turing company that manufactures all of its products in France. For more information, visit www.duralexusa.com.
