A PEAK BEHIND
THE CURTAIN
Explore the journey of Aspire Brands and get
to know our unique culture.
Hey there! We’re Aspire Brands, and we are not your average distributor. As a strategic full-service distributor we both build, run and manage unique and compelling brands. With experience gained from decades in the industry we’re all about creating a positive ripple effect for our customers – making sure everyone wins.
Aspire Brands Europe was founded in 2014 as a result of a merger between two successful distribution companies – Agati and Aspire Brands Europe.
Our CEO, Marius, acquired Agati in 2008. As the sole employee at the time, Marius started Agati’s expansion into the world of distribution. Meanwhile, Buddy, a third-generation cosmetics owner of the well-known brand Lip Smacker, was also making waves in the industry.
In 2014, with a common vision for the future, Marius and Buddy joined forces by merging their two companies in order to create a distribution business that would better serve the future needs of both customers and suppliers. Pretty cool, right?
The result of this expansion has exceeded even our wildest expectations. We’re pretty stoked to say that with six offices across ten countries, over 50 employees and a coverage of more than 17000 stores – we have come a long way.
Aspire Brands is not about brands. It is about people building brands.
– Marius Ferstad, CEO
None of this, however, would have been possible without the unmatched dedication of our employees. At our company, we truly believe that people are our greatest asset. That’s why we’ve built a culture that prioritizes the growth and development of our employees.
We are the place where people come to grow.
We consider our culture and our people the secret behind our success. When brands come to us, they know that they’re not just getting a service – they’re getting a team of dedicated, passionate professionals who genuinely care about their success. So if you’re looking for a place where you can grow, have fun, and make a difference, we invite you to come along for the ride.
