The organisation is advancing in a new direction and expanding globally, necessitating the rebranding. The new brand needs to appeal to a global audience which means we need to look at what's happening around the world in this space and create a unique positioning for the new brand. While Classic Stripes is known for its precision manufacturing capabilities, this new brand will be known for its design, technology and engineering prowess.”
