Summary:
A SME from Germany started its activities in March 2020. The company focuses on bullet journaling and the creation of physical products in the premium price sector. The start-up searches for further product development for an ecological and biological degradable laminating foil. Partners are sought within the framework of a supplier agreement.
Description:
The female owner of the company from Germany has an IT background and combines her competences of media informatics and aesthetical claims for physical products.
The products are handmade and a supplier of wooden elements lasers these elements with the requested high quality. The owner designs and prints her templates by herself.
One key element of the production is the laminating foil. Actually, the foil is a standard solution that does not fit to the company’s approach. Therefore, a new supplier is sought, who delivers a degradable laminating foil in small numbers and in different sizes and formats. Due to the production process, the clients of the company actually purchase 1-5 product units per order.
Yet, the company has no capacity to order large amounts of semi-finished products and modify it accordingly. Therefore, the start-up is interested in a supplier agreement.
Type (e.g. company, R&D institution…), field of industry and Role of Partner Sought:
Activity: Manufacturing and/or distribution of laminating foils
Type: Industry or wholesalers / retailers / consulting services
Role:
Industry: Production of ecological and biological degradable laminating foil in special sizes formats and order numbers. Minimum purchase and material conditions/behaviour are the most relevant issues here.
Wholesalers / retailers:
Relevant companies already have an ecological and biological degradable laminating foil. Then, there will be simply one new client, who is happy about this product and the new partnership. Minimum purchase and material conditions/behaviour are the most relevant issues here.
Consulting services: Only relevant if the final product is a joint collaboration and a result of the combination of several competencies. There will be no money invested in consulting services! So interested consulting services should focus on R&D and the final product is the asset for further product strategies.
Technical Specification or Expertise Sought:
The product portfolio is aligned to be sustainable. Therefore, the SME searches for degradable laminating foil in small numbers and formats. It is asked to include this information already in the EOI.
If there were potential B2B-partners with relevant products, but on large rolls and hundreds of meters, the owner also would like to discuss and elaborate a solution with a win-win-situation for all involved parties.
Stage of Development:
Already on the market
Comments Regarding Stage of Development:
The online shop is working and an e-commerce strategy with international partners might be realised.
