Your brand.
Our mission.

We produce private labels and OEM-products in the product categories of storage media, batteries, rechargeable batteries, lighting products and multi-media accessories. Our professional support starts with the idea and ends with the after-sales service. Teams of experienced experts take care of product development, sourcing and production, quality control as well as on-time deliveries.

Development

Development

Our principal attitude is that of never-ending improvement. We enjoy the progressive development and continuous optimisation of made-to-measure product ranges and individual service packages in close interaction with our customers.

Our teams of experts analyze the individual requirements of our customers and use market research and trend studies to find the best fitting solution. Attending international trade shows and/or technology road maps are a way of contributing to turn a first idea into a successful reality. On the base of many years of experience in sourcing and sales we support each project step by step until we have found the best solution for our customers. Besides product concepts and product programmes this may involve the definition of the ideal supply chain to optimise cost, quality, logistics and time-to-market.

Sourcing & production

Sourcing & production

Back in 1979 already we have been negotiating directly with leading manufacturers of raw materials, packaging materials and finished products. With the majority of our suppliers we share already many years of successful cooperation in good partnership that is based on high mutual respect and trust. Our purchasing team is always very close to our production partners, implementing the demands of our customers rapidly and purposefully at the supplier production site thus ensuring a compliance with the requirements for cost, quality and timing.
