"Year on year shoppers are abandoning the high street to do their shopping online and from the comfort of their own homes; our growth in the UK over the past five months is testament to this with over 2 million unique visitors coming to the site every month", said Bastien Duclaux, founder and CEO of Twenga.
"It's our job to make online shopping as easy and cost effective as possible and we are confident that the new features we are launching will do just that.
"Retailer reviews and price history tracking mean that consumers don't have to rely on price as a means of comparison or only deal with big brand retailers when shopping online.
"Consumers can now find the product they are looking for at the cheapest price, with the features they are looking for and understand whether the retailer offering that product is recommended by their peers or not".
Twenga is the leading next generation shopping search engine, committed to giving consumers the largest choice of products and retailers online, and the tools to make smarter decisions.
Twenga, meaning "straight to the point" in Swahili, prides itself on its true impartiality, listing search results by relevance, not commercial bias.
Its comprehensive product catalogue is fuelled by a proprietary crawl technology that enables the indexing of all products and retailers on the web.
Founded in September 2006 and headquartered in Paris, Twenga currently has sites in the UK, France, Spain, Italy, Germany, Poland, Belgium and Switzerland.
Listing more than 40 million products from over 28,000 merchants, the Twenga sites are growing rapidly.
