Summary

An established UK based cookware brand are seeking a partner company who are able to manufacture their current product range and going forward help with the development of new products (from 2021 onwards) This collaboration is envisaged to be via a manufacturing agreement.

Description

Based in the North East of England the company sells products internationally across Europe with the current manufacturing arm being in China. They seek to bring this closer to the UK as part of an internal streamlining initiative to rationalise their supply chain and reach their sustainable development goals .

They currently order in batches of around 10,000 units but need partners that can operate flexibly to deal with a current upturn in order levels forecasted over the next 18 months as they have a significant amount of latent demand for products.

They offer a high level of customer service which builds long-lasting relationships with their customers. Since 2017 they have enjoyed consistent growth developing from an Amazon platform to showcasing the products properly across the whole web and not just via Amazon. This development gave the company a new emphasis, which encouraged them to re-brand the entire business to focus exclusively on their inhouse range of cookware. All of the company’s products are stylish and functional and designed in the UK after 3 years of product development.

This development cycle is ongoing and they seek partners to manufacture the production of their current product range and work with them to develop the range further over the next 18 months.

They seek a partnering company who can manufacture the current product range and going forward assist with product development for new products, this is envisaged to be via a manufacturing agreement.

Advantages & innovations

The company’s premium quality products have been developed with the best Non-Stick Coatings all available on an induction compatible platform. With a short supply chain which ensures we can deliver products direct to the consumer at reduced costs.
