Deal struck with EON Productions for range featuring logo and classic movie poster designs.
Zippo has partnered with EON Productions for a specially designed 007 collection of windproof lighters.
The deal – which was brokered by IMG, the exclusive global licensing agent for the James Bond 007 franchise – will see the launch of a lighter collection featuring the classic gun barrel, the 007 logo and movie poster designs from Dr No and From Russia With Love.
In addition, a wider Zippo collection dedicated to classic James Bond poster art is in development and slated to launch in time for Christmas 2017 in selected markets.
“Zippo and James Bond are both iconic brands, and we are delighted to be partnering again with EON Productions on a collection featuring 007 designs,” said Richard Finlow, Zippo’s svp of global sales.
Zippo is celebrating its 85th anniversary this year, while the James Bond franchise is gearing up for the release of the 25th movie in 2019.
