Full Description
A Dutch family based SME is selling loose silk stem flowers, bouquets, vases and garlands.

The market of artificial flowers is growing fast. Traditionally those artificial flowers, that mainly are made from silk, are imported from Asian companies, especially Chinese companies. Due to the current geo-economic situation it is difficult for a smaller SME to do business with Chinese companies within specifications.

For the Dutch SME it is not easy to find wholesalers and/or manufacturers in Europe that can deliver artificial flowers in desired variety and numbers within an acceptable delivery time.

The Dutch SME is looking for a supplier agreement with a European wholesaler or manufacturer of artificial flowers.
Important elements of the supplier agreement are the possibilities concerning the variety, numbers and delivery time of the artificial flowers. Due to the ever-changing trends over the years flexibility will also be an important element for further detailed discussion.
