Abstract
Smartwares Group is a new entity that came from the 2016 merging of two Dutch companies, Smartwares, a home lighting and security device company, and TriāStar, a conglomerate of several household consumer goods brands. Smartwares Group, headquartered in the Netherlands, is an internationally diverse company that incorporates offices across Europe, the Middle East and Asia to create a competitive advantage in an industry increasingly susceptible to new low cost entrants. To create this competitive advantage in the consumer goods industry, Smartwares Group positions their products across multiple price segments, develops them for specific regional tastes, and delivers them with an emphasis on superior service. This case study examines the overarching business processes that Smartwares Group uses to achieve these objectives consistently across different brands and products.
