The Belgian company specializes in period underwear and operates primarily in Belgium and the Netherlands, with plans to expand to France and Germany in the near future. The company has been satisfied with its Asian partner, a family business with extensive experience in the production of period underwear and swimwear. However, they are now actively seeking a European company or textile factory (with a short supply chain) to enhance their sustainability efforts.
The current target customers are teenage girls and women, with plans to extend the product line to include boys and men, particularly addressing light urine leakage issues for the latter category.
The company emphasizes the importance of finding a factory with the capacity to handle large orders at any time.
Key criteria for selection include the factory's ability to maintain high-quality standards and utilize sustainable materials.
Additionally, the company expresses interest in the possibility of collaborating with the chosen factory's designers to develop new models for upcoming seasons. - Advantages and Innovations
- They are a dependable partner that achieved remarkable success within a brief timeframe. Observing an exponential year-on-year growth of their company by over 500%, they are now actively seeking a collaborator to swiftly materialize their future plans.

The company emphasizes the importance of working with sustainable materials, requiring a commitment to utilizing durable fabrics. The prospective collaborator should ensure the delivery of high-quality products, adhering to standards such as Oekotex STANDARD 100, and abstaining from the use of PFAS, PFAO, and PFOS.
