The application of innovative design to the ubiquitous toddler trainer cup has created a multi-award-winning product that swiftly achieved outstanding sales, primarily through word-of-mouth among mothers. The patented non-drip valve invented by Mandy Haberman effectively eliminates spillage, even when the cup is shaken upside down. Contemporary styling brought differentiation in a crowded market sector. This unique cup captured almost 40 percent of the UK market within two years of its launch and sales to date exceed 12 million.
