Japanese frames manufacturer Charmant Group has communicated to its UK customers that it will close its UK subsidiary Charmant UK this summer.
Charmant UK will close on June 28th with the company’s field sales team finishing employment on April 28.
The company noted that all existing orders booked for delivery up until April 30 will be fulfilled, with new prepayment orders accepted until April 19.
Practices holding stock on a consignment basis can opt to purchase the stock or return it by April 30.
The communication to customers expressed great sadness at the closure and said the decision to close had been taken after substantial reviews and lengthy consideration.
Charmant also noted that, should practices require frames or spare parts after the closure deadline, it will ‘assist wherever possible from our European hub.’
