VIDA Living was built on the principle that creating good relationships with trusted partners and suppliers is key, a tradition started by John Wogan when he founded the business as a wholesaler in the early 1970s.
The majority of our products are still manufactured in south-east Asia, and VIDA Living imports about 100 containers into Ireland and the UK – each and every month. Some 70% of these come from our partners in China, while 20% come from Vietnam, and the remaining 10% is split between suppliers in Malaysia, Indonesia and India.
In order to ensure that we continue to meet our exacting quality standards, we have five team members permanently based in China and Vietnam. Our supply chain team is based in Dundalk, where they undertake the task of ensuring that all the moving parts of the supply chain line up so the containers keep coming in a timely fashion.
The quality of product, large stock availability and excellent service gives us the confidence to offer their products to our customers
