Our client is £ multi-million European company specialising in the manufacture and supply of a wide range of primarily PVCu building products to the house-building and renovation industry. It has a proven track record for innovating and delivering high quality, cost effective products to the market and works closely with customers to develop products that fill a real technical and commercial need. Continually investing in its product development and state-of-the-art manufacturing facilities, it is quickly able to respond to the needs of the marketplace and legislation. The company has excellent routes to market, encompassing direct trade sales, supply to fabricators / manufacturers and suppliers for both the new build and refurbishment markets, in addition to extensive experience working with the UK/European regulatory approval system – they are therefore extremely well placed to take a new product to market.
The company now seeks to grow its product offering by buying, distributing or licensing in innovative products, components, systems and technologies. Opportunities should provide ease of installation or a unique selling point (USP) for the fabricator / supplier and provide a demonstrable benefit to the end customer. Innovations should have good Intellectual Property (IP) protection or be protectable. Our client is keen to work with companies or individuals that have developed an innovative technology and lack the manufacturing expertise and/or route to market.
We are willing to explore any appropriate commercial arrangements. Please send preliminary information on any proposed opportunity – including a short description, technical and marketing advantages and initial suggestions on possible methods of co-operation
