THE CHALLENGE Founded in 2016 in San Diego, California, MANSCAPED ™ is a unique male grooming brand offering precision- engineered tools, luxurious formulations, and innovative lifestyle accessories to revolutionize men’s grooming and hygiene. They are, rst and foremost, a direct-to-consumer brand with subscriptions leading their business. After establishing a strong presence in the United States with rapidly increasing demand, the company soon set their sights on immediate expansion into the UK and Europe. In order to keep up with rising ecommerce demand, and ensure they were properly equipped to expand into new markets, MANSCAPED ™ required a logistics partner with an established global footprint and the ability to implement and scale an effective fulllment strategy. In the near term, MANSCAPED ™ required the ability to meet the demands of distributing online orders and subscriptions directly to their customers in the UK and Europe with an eye on future growth into new global markets. THE SOLUTION In 2020, MANSCAPED ™ teamed up with SEKO Logistics. By gaining access to SEKO’s global network of multi-channel distribution centers, MANSCAPED ™ was able to achieve their expansion targets in the UK and

Europe and has begun working toward additional expansion by shipping to Africa and Asia. As MANSCAPED ™ ’s sole logistics partner in Europe, SEKO implemented an integrated fulllment strategy which has been able to manage direct-to- consumer distribution of online orders and subscriptions and seamlessly scale to meet the needs of the company throughout their expansion. With the UK and parts of Europe more accessible for the brand, demand quickly increased past their target goals. The grooming brand is now working on the next stages of their world expansion initiatives as well as supporting innovation into other areas of male grooming and health with SEKO by their side. Over the course of its partnership with MANSCAPED ™ , SEKO has kitted, packed, shipped, and delivered tens of thousands of MANSCAPED ™ products and kits from one of SEKO’s warehouses in Milton Keynes, UK.
