Kinetic Natural Product Distributors are suppliers of ethical, natural and organic body care brands, herbal and dietary supplements to the Health Food Industry and Practitioners for over 15 years.
Despite coming from very different professional backgrounds, Alexander and his brother Kim founded
Kinetic in the early 1990s with the aim of delivering high quality, natural brands to the UK.
Alexander, whose background had covered fashion, music and PR, joined forces with Kim, who had enjoyed success in the financial and property worlds, and
Kinetic was born.
The idea of
Kinetic is to have an independent distributor that offers brand leaders which in some way enhance a natural lifestyle.
The company's first major deal was struck with the American family-owned organic body care range
Jason, which was already massively popular in the States and today remains one of
Kinetic's most popular brand. Later, Alexander spent time in America to learn more about the kind of products they wanted to market and during his time there he discovered
Nature's Answer, which became another brand Kinetic began distributing in the UK.
Kinetic now has a portfolio that includes:
JASÖN, leaders in organic beauty and body care;
Nature's Answer, pioneers in maximum strength liquid herbal extracts, capsules, and Liquid Vitamins;
Australian Bush Flower contemporary remedies for emotions and well being;
Renew Life total digestive care;
The Organic Food Bar, raw and alkaline forming, nutritious, tasty energy bars;
Dr Bronner's Magic Soaps, leading the ecological movement for 50 years with pure-Castile (pure vegetable) biodegradable organic soaps; make-up from
Elysambre; and ,
Emergen-C a Vitamin C fizzy flavoured drink.
Business never stands still at
Kinetic as it is always on the lookout for new brands.
However, they are selective about the brands it takes on, and those that do appeal have to fulfil strict criteria. In taking on anything new, what has always been important to
Kinetic is developing and maintaining solid relationships with suppliers, and is one of the considerations the company makes in taking on brands.
Kinetic's relationships with suppliers are based on friendship, great respect and commitment which extend to over 15 years. Alexander adds: "Our suppliers would say that
Kinetic is about quality products, friendly service and is a vibrant and innovative company. We always listen and respond to what retailers need."
Kinetic's latest venture is
Under the Canopy, an organic clothing company described by Alexander as "an amazing brand" which will soon be launched in the UK.
"We are always looking for something different, something that is ambitious in terms of product development," Alexander says. "Who knows what will be the next big thing."
