David Mason Design was established by the present chairman, David Cowan, in London in 1962. Today the company is run from Chesterfield by his two sons, Nicholas and Richard. 2012 sees the company
celebrating 50 years in the industry.
David Mason Design has long been a successful supplier of award winning acrylic and wood pepper and salt mills - David Cowan designed the world’s first clear acrylic pepper mill in 1975 and “The Model 505” has been a best seller for more than 35 years. In recent years, ceramic storage and tableware has boosted our portfolio of products together with a character collection created by Edward Monkton to ensure DMD remains a major supplier to the housewares industry.
We believe our strength lies in recognising that team work is essential. The majority of our staff are long-term employees and all play a vital role in our on-going success. A combination of market- knowledge of both UK and overseas comes in part from competitor analysis; understanding and working with our customers; regular visits to trade fairs, consumer exhibitions; and ultimately - simply our instinct. The company exhibits at major trade exhibitions in Birmingham, London, Frankfurt, Amsterdam, Copenhagen and Paris.
We offer new solutions, distinctive packaging and fresh designs with product synergy, which are sourced using high quality materials and approved factories. Our award winning in-house design team strive to offer innovative, stylish and most importantly, commercially winning products.
