Summary:
A Polish SME from the energy sector has developed and is offering a new, (super)smokeless solid fuel made from steam (bituminous/soft) coal. The product has a relatively high calorific value. It is also comparatively safe for the environment, as low amounts of volatiles and other harmful substances are released to the atmosphere. Distribution services and commercial agency agreements are offered. The company is also ready to develop and supply new solid fuel under the manufacturing agreement.
Description:
A company from the northwestern part of Poland operating in the energy sector specialises in the production of solid fuels. It has two state-of-the-art production facilities with a yearly output of 225 thousand tons of solid fuels and over 2 Million Gj of heat energy. The firm has been extensively collaborating with multiple international partners from Europe and Africa.
The company has recently developed and is offering a new smokeless solid fuel made from steam (bituminous/soft) coal. The fuel is very efficient in terms of energy production (technical parameters in the 'Advantages and Innovations' section). Thanks to the intensive work of their R&D team, volatiles and other harmful substances are tightly controlled, making the offered product more environmentally friendly than the standard coal-derived fuels.
The firm is interested in entering new markets with this new product and is looking for foreign partners who will help in achieving this goal. They offer partnership within the framework of either distribution or commercial agency agreement to companies operating in the energy sector. The firm looks for a partner with knowledge of a local market and an extensive network of contacts. Distributors will be expected to include the product in their offer, specify the requested quantity, delivery date and destination, and promote the products among final customers. Responsibility of agents will be to market the products through their channels, find new customers for them and assist in the negotiations. As for the company, it will be responsible for producing and delivering the ordered product. Other details of the partnership will be discussed and agreed during negotiations between the parties.
The company is also interested in developing new products. For this reason, it offers to cooperate with energy companies under the manufacturing agreement. Partners will be responsible for specifying what type of solid fuel they require, what properties it suppose to have. In turn, the company will develop, manufacture and supply the specified product.
