Prop Options expands distribution network in the Netherlands

The British company Prop Options, known for producing cake stands and decorations using 3D printing, has opened a new distribution center in the Netherlands. With this step, the company, which is based in Dorset, aims to better serve the European market and strengthen its position on the continent. The aim of the expansion is to shorten delivery times, reduce shipping costs and eliminate import duties for customers in the EU.

Emily Lamb, managing director at Prop Options, said: “For the past four years, our business has seen rapid growth. This expansion reflects the demand we’ve seen from our valued partners and customers in Europe. With our new warehousing in The Netherlands, we’re now positioned to offer faster delivery, with local shipping rates, enabling us to pass on greater savings to our loyal customer base.”

The center is located close to the German border and offers shipping options starting at €5.95 for standard deliveries. Express delivery is available within two days. Previously, customers in the EU had to contend with long delivery times and additional customs charges. With the new infrastructure and partnerships with DPD and Deutsche Post, Prop Options aims to eliminate these hurdles. At the same time, the company continues to use 3D printing technology to develop innovative and sustainable products such as eco-PLA-based cake stands and decorations.

Emily Lamb adds: “Our expansion into Europe is not just a major achievement for us as a business, it’s a leap forward in what we can provide to the European cake design and events industries. A huge thank you to our customers for growing with us and to the entire Prop Options team, who’ve been unwavering in their incredible efforts and hard work to bring this vision to life. We look forward to the next chapter of growth and innovation!”

The expansion into Europe follows successful moves into the Middle East in 2023, and with further plans for markets in Australia, North America and Canada, Prop Options is optimistic about the future. The company thus remains a pioneer in the application of 3D printing for the cake market and is committed to the continuous development of its production and delivery processes.
