John Houston, Executive Chairman of YPB Group, said: “More and more companies are recognising the importance of protecting their brands against counterfeits, at the same time connecting with their end customers. Counterfeit products directly attack the value of a brand, leading to lost markets and lost revenue. We are delighted that Impact International will offer our anti-counterfeit and customer engagement solutions to its customers.”

Aleks Lajovic, Sales and Marketing Manager at Impact International, said: “By partnering with YPB, Impact International is offering its customers excellent brand protection solutions as well as exciting consumer engagement opportunities. Cosmetic, personal care and pharmaceutical products manufactured in Australia or New Zealand are extremely popular in Asia. We believe that Australian and New Zealand-made products will become even more popular around the world. With 70% of counterfeit products originating from China our customers – especially those that are export-focused – understand that successful products always run the risk of being copied. By helping our customers protect their brand, protect their reputation and protect consumers from purchasing counterfeit products, we believe our partnership with YPB will add real value to our customers and allow them to focus on new export opportunities with reduced risk.”
