Witcomb USA
In 1971, the company represented the UK at a British Fair in New York. The next year, Witcomb, while exhibiting in San Francisco, received HRH Princess Alexandra and her husband, Sir Angus Ogilvy. This marked a short-lived foray on the US market. Witcomb USA was founded in 1972 in East Haddam, Connecticut by Richard Sachs and Peter Weigle. However, problems with suppliers meant the company could not fulfil demand, and the venture was dismantled after a couple of years.
