General information

Short Summary
German manufacturer of school cones and Advent calendars is seeking partners for partial production or assembly, possibly including printing services, as part of an outsourcing or supplier agreement.
Full Description
The German company specialises in the manufacture of products for the start of the school year (including school cones) and Advent calendars. For future production, the company is looking for reliable partners for the partial manufacture of individual components and for complete assembly, particularly in the area of Advent calendars.

The company is looking for companies specialising in packaging services, assembly or printing with extended services, e.g. printing companies with further processing capabilities. FSC certification is desirable, as sustainability plays a central role in the company.

The aim is to establish a medium to long-term partnership to expand capacity in the production process. Both permanent outsourcing of production and ad hoc project assignments with specific manufacturing orders are conceivable.
Advantages and Innovations
The company is a brand manufacturer that has been established for decades and has a large distribution network in German-speaking countries. It offers predictable production volumes and a clear order structure. The company is strictly quality-oriented and prefers certified processes (e.g. FSC). Partners benefit from long-term orders, large seasonal volumes and cooperation with an experienced and professional team.
Technical Specification or Expertise Sought
- Experience in processing paper, cardboard or composite materials (shaping, binding, laminating, packaging)
- Capabilities for manual or machine assembly (e.g. separating, filling, sealing, shrink-wrapping, labelling)
- Optional: in-house printing capabilities (digital/offset printing, finishing (glitter/foil printing))
- Warehouse logistics and shipping preparation are an advantage.
- FSC certification is desirable
- Flexibility with regard to quantities and delivery dates
- Quality control and traceability
