Descriptiontext

Trust International B.V., founded in 1983 in the Netherlands (Dordrecht), designs, develops, and distributes branded consumer electronics accessories in the value-for-money segment. The company operates through three brand identities: GXTrust for gaming peripherals (mice, mechanical keyboards, headsets, chairs), Trust for home and office peripherals (keyboards, mice, headsets, webcams, power banks, bags), and Trust Smart Home for connected devices (WiFi lighting, security cameras, video doorbells) controlled via the Trust WiFi app without requiring a dedicated hub.

Products are designed in Europe and span price points from entry-level mice at €9.99 to premium gaming chairs at €399.99 and 100W laptop powerbanks. The portfolio increasingly emphasizes sustainability, using recycled plastics (e.g., the Ferro mouse with 85% recycled plastics), PET-bottle-derived fabrics (Jersey backpack), and FSC-certified wooden frames, with the company targeting climate neutrality by 2030 and a fully circular business model by 2040.

Trust generates revenue exclusively through third-party retail channels and B2B resellers, with no direct-to-consumer e-commerce on its own website. Its 2022-launched Elevate reseller partner program provides B2B-exclusive SKUs with a 5-year warranty, while consumer products reach end users through general retail and online marketplaces. Key value propositions include a 5-year warranty on Home & Office SKUs, sustained EcoVadis Gold certification (top 5% globally), and a European-design identity targeting affordable, sustainability-positioned accessories for gamers, home/office workers, and smart home users.
