Bodyfriend Accelerates Past
Competition Following Partnership with Lamborghini
The first Lamborghini-inspired massage chair will hit the
market in 2018
Bodyfriend, the highest grossing massage chair company in
the world, and Automobili Lamborghini, a luxury supercar manufacturer, today
announced a four-year partnership deal. The agreement between the health and
wellness market leader and the luxury supercar maker will enable Bodyfriend to
combine the health benefits that massage chairs offer with the powerful and
luxurious spirit and design of one of the most-recognized supercar brands in
the world. The new Lamborghini-inspired products will change the landscape of
the global massage chair industry.
Following wide-ranging negotiations, Park Sang-Hyun, CEO at
Bodyfriend and Automobili Lamborghini’s CEO Stefano Domenicali reached an
agreement and signed a four-year licensing contract at Lamborghini's headquarters
in Sant'Agata Bolognese. The licensing deal gives Bodyfriend exclusive rights
over Lamborghini’s branding on massage chairs until the end of 2021. As a
result of the agreement, the first Lamborghini massage chair is expected to be
launched by the end of spring 2018.
The partnership will assist Bodyfriend to retain the number
one position in the massage chair industry by further expanding the global
massage chair market starting with North America and Asia. The appealing design
and smart functionalities of the new line of Lamborghini inspired products will
enable Bodyfriend to accelerate its mission to educate potential customers
about the perks and health benefits of having a massage chair at home. The deal
is also another step towards Bodyfriend’s goals of reaching $1 billion in
yearly sales by 2021.
"This collaboration with Lamborghini is a new
opportunity for both companies. We are very proud to be associated with our new
partners in Italy," said Park. “Collaborating with the team known for
creating some of the most iconic designs in the car industry will help us
expand the global market and change the perspective of Americans about massage
chairs. Great innovation is born where design and functionality work hand in
hand without compromise. This is what Lamborghini is for us, and this is what
we will implement in our future supercar-inspired massage chair products."
The new product is expected to start shipping during the
second quarter of 2018. Earlier this year Bodyfriend opened two stores in Los
Angeles, CA and is planning to open an additional 140 stores throughout the US
in the next three years.
