Summary:
Historic family-owned SME, producing high-quality bed pillows made entirely in its facility in central Italy using patented technology, seeks trade partners for its products, through a distribution or commercial agency agreement. The company will also consider a manufacturing agreement for pillows and private-label production.
Description:
The Italian manufacturer is a global leader in the production of spring pillows; it exports to 30+ countries and is interested in growing its market through cooperation with new partners, through commercial agency, distribution or manufacturing agreements.
Its entire line of pillows starts with an exclusive system of springs, independent and individually packed, designed and produced using only Italian steel that has been specifically treated according to the company’s patented process. The springs form the centre of every pillow; then the springs are cushioned using either highly resilient, hypoallergenic polyester padding, or hypoallergenic memory foam.
Pillows are available in different dimensions and degrees of softness.
The pillows are ergonomically certified by ErgoCert, Institute for Ergonomic Certification at the European level, obtaining the highest score on the market.
The covering is in 100% high-quality cotton twill with Oeko-Tex Standard 100 certification, or with functional fabrics such as Amicor™, an antimicrobial fibre; Coolmax®, for moisture-wicking; Tencel™, a cellulose fibre made from Eucalyptus.
The covering fabric can be customised as desired, for example with coloured borders, embroidered text or logos, and the technical and commercial labels.
Every part of the manufacturing is performed in the company’s own facilities, with the most modern technologies and a workforce of experienced craftsmen. The company’s investment in internal R&D processes has allowed it, over many years, to develop a primary know-how in the production of sleeping pillows. The result: its pillows are significantly different from all others on the market thanks to the special system of individually packed springs used in all its products.
