Company

A trading company that behaves like a supplier.

MONSE INTERNATIONAL TRADING works with producers and ships to trade buyers in North America, South America, Asia, Oceania and Europe. We are not a marketplace and not a catalogue. We take responsibility for the specification, the inspection and the documents.

What we do

We supply flameless LED candles — pillar candles, tea lights, taper candles, scented wax candles and remote-controlled series — to hospitality groups, retailers, wholesalers and event suppliers worldwide.

We have supplied customers in North America, South America, Asia, Oceania and Europe, and enquiries from other markets are welcome.

Most of our orders are not catalogue items. A hotel group needs a candle that matches an existing table setting. A retailer needs a range that fits a shelf plan and carries their own brand. A distributor needs a specification that will not change between shipments. Each of those is a different problem, and each is solved before production starts, on paper.

How we work

We keep the number of moving parts small. One contact handles your enquiry from first email to after-sales. The specification is agreed in writing and does not change without your signature. Goods are inspected before they leave, and the record of that inspection ships with them.

That is not a sophisticated business model. It is simply the part that most buyers tell us went wrong with their previous supplier.

Where we sit

MONSE INTERNATIONAL TRADING is the trading arm of the MONSE group, which also operates a management consulting practice. The two businesses are deliberately kept separate: different clients, different obligations, different people to answer to.

The trading company exists for one purpose — moving physical product from production to a shelf in the destination market with the paperwork intact.

Who we work with

Buyers, not browsers.

We are set up for businesses that buy repeatedly. If you are ordering a single sample for a personal project, there are easier places to shop.

Hospitality groups

Hotels, restaurants and bar groups standardising table lighting across sites, with replacements available on a known lead time.

Retail & private label

Retailers and brand owners who need the product, the packaging and the conformity documents to arrive as one package.

Distributors & event suppliers

Wholesalers and hire fleets that reorder on a cycle and cannot absorb a change in specification between shipments.

Start with one email.

Describe the product you need, the market you sell into and the volume you expect. You will get a straight answer about whether we are the right supplier — and if we are not, we will say so.
