Full Description

Originating from Belgium, LSP has carved a niche in the realm of heavy confection production. Their dedicated production facility, located in Tunisia, ensures quality craftsmanship and adherence to European standards. A significant portion of their expertise lies in the creation of leather goods. The product range spans from handbags, backpacks to duffle bags. However, the company is not limited to leather alone. They have ventured into and excelled in using vegan materials such as apple leather, nylon, imitation leather, and canvas, opening avenues for sustainable and eco-friendly products.

Over the years, the company has diversified its product range to cater to various sectors. Beyond fashion accessories, they have delved into the production of technical products. Their repertoire includes safety harnesses used for climbing, cutting-edge exoskeletons for medical applications, and specialized protection parts for law enforcement agencies. The company's versatility extends to labels, handles, personalized covers, and more.

What truly differentiates this company is its approach to collaboration. With over 55 years of industry know-how and experience, they have honed their processes to offer flexibility and customization. Interested partners have the option to source raw materials, or they can choose to have the company procure them. For those in the initial stages of product development, the company's in-house development team is adept at transforming sketches into tangible prototypes, bridging the gap between idea and realization.

The company's operations are transparent and inclusive. Interested partners are always welcome to visit the showroom in Belgium, giving them a firsthand view of the products. Additionally, for those interested in the production process, the doors to the Tunisian production facility are always open.

In terms of international cooperation, the company is actively seeking partnerships across various domains. Fashion brands with a product idea can benefit from the company's production expertise. Designers can see their sketches come to life with precision. R&D offices, especially those inventing new products, can collaborate for prototype development and subsequent production. Furthermore, the company is on the constant lookout for producers or distributors of raw materials, aiming to innovate and enhance their product offerings continually.

As the company looks forward to forging new collaborations, it assures potential partners of its commitment to quality, innovation, and mutual growth.

Advantages and Innovations

Among the company's foremost advantages is their ability to accommodate small Minimum Order Quantities (MOQ), making it easier for partners, big and small, to collaborate without the constraints of massive orders. This flexibility is further complemented by their own dedicated development team, capable of swiftly creating prototypes, thereby accelerating the product development process.

Their sourcing strategy is dual-faceted: while they can procure top-quality European raw materials, they also provide the option for partners to supply their own, ensuring customization and adherence to specific brand requirements.

With over 55 years in the industry, the company's wealth of know-how and experience sets them apart. This longevity has not only allowed them to refine their craft but also to adapt to market changes, ensuring that they remain at the forefront of innovation in both materials and manufacturing techniques.

Another distinct advantage is their flexibility. Regardless of the project's scale or complexity, they are equipped to handle it with precision, ensuring that the final product aligns with the partner's vision.

Moreover, the company's broad spectrum of expertise, ranging from fashion accessories to technical products, means that they are not confined to a single niche. This versatility ensures that they can cater to a diverse array of industries, making them a one-stop solution for many of their partners' manufacturing needs.
