Editorial Dear Customer, The last few years have brought unusual challenges for all of us: the pandemic and Ukraine conflict, resulting in energy price explosions and inflation. If we have learned anything from these times, it is how important it is to stick together. Helping each other, understanding different situations and being able to rely on each other have become even more important. In the past year we have spent a lot of time looking around and listening to everyone. For 2024, the outlook is much more positive. Freight rates have calmed down, energy costs have fallen and we are again experiencing much more confidence and joy for the coming season. In terms of sustainability and a better future, it is important to meet the extended requirements for the packaging regulations, supply chain tracking, EUDR and other requirements. BOLTZE is meeting this responsibility so that we are ready to support you as our partner in implementing and complying with it. But in the future, there will not only be requirements, but also opportunities. Artificial intelligence (AI) is currently on everyone‘s lips. It is a technology that is advancing at a rapid pace and will also become increasingly important in our daily working world. We already use AI technologies to optimise our service for you in many areas. You haven‘t noticed that yet? Great! Then we‘ve done it right. We have certainly done everything right with our new assortment for the coming autumn/winter season 2024, because we have not only greatly strengthened our purchasing team in terms of staff and expertise but have also used our regained freedom to finally experience the new living trends all over the world on site again. Thereby we have brought new article groups with us: Christmas gift bags, organdy curtains, oil burner, sweeping sets, book holders and newspaper racks made of mango wood and much more. We hope that you already enjoy this little preview of the coming trends and that you discover numerous new favourite items. Together we can make 2024 a success. We are at your side with advice and support - don‘t hesitate to challenge us! Best regards Your Adrian Boltze Subscribe to our newsletter and receive the latest news. CLICK HERE - 02 -
