Description:
A company from the North-West Poland active in the candle industry specialises in the production of beeswax candles. They've been operating for over 5 years and have some experience in international cooperation - they've been exporting their products to Germany and Scandinavia.
The firm is offering handmade beeswax candles with cotton or wooden wicks. The products are manufactured from pure, all-natural and additive-free materials. The wax comes only from European apiaries. Besides regular, classically-shaped products, the firm also offers carved candles designed by their own sculptors or by clients. The products are available in various sizes and packaged in classy, esthetic boxes. The products can be manufactured under a partner's label.
As the market research conducted for the company has shown that the offered products are unique and of high demand on the European market, the firm is looking for foreign partners that will help build a presence there. They are interested in mutually beneficial cooperation under the manufacturing or commercial agency agreement with beauty supply stores (chemists), furnishing stores (home decor), advertisement companies and suppliers thereof (importers, wholesalers). Under the manufacturing agreement, the role of a partner will be to specify type and quantity of requested products and to decide whether he wants private-label candles or products sold under the brand name of the manufacturer. Moreover, a partner can design his own candle that the firm will produce. Under the commercial agency agreement, the firm will provide a partner with the catalogue of the offered candles, samples and advertising materials. A role of a partner will be to find new customers for the products. In both types of cooperation, the role of the firm will be to manufacture ordered products and to provide them with packaging in a local language and conforming to legal requirements.
