General information

Short Summary

A Finnish company develops, manufactures, and promotes new innovative docks and deck elements made of recycled household waste plastic composite. The dock concept is unique - the modular dock components are easy to transport and quick to assemble at site. Docks are durable and 100 % maintenance free. The company is looking for distribution partners, especially in Sweden, Estonia, Norway, Denmark, Germany, and the UK.

Full Description

The Finnish company’s solution is a new, ecological, and unique dock concept, resembling the best practices and features of IKEA and Lego. The structural design and modular construction enable easy transportation and quick assembly at site, with no special tools needed. The concept produces no material waste. The elements are through-dyed, UV protected and come in various colours and surface patterns. The deck elements suit well to various outdoor construction applications, e.g., terraces, walkways, and duckboards. The dock design has patent pending.

The company emphasizes sustainability and encourages recycling. The composite deck elements create a carbon sink, reducing CO2 emissions 2-4 times of their weight. Heavy transports are not needed, thus the supply chain is unsurpassed in its carbon footprint and ecology.

The modular dock concept is on the market in Finland, and the company is now looking for distribution partners in Sweden, Estonia, Norway, Denmark, Germany, and the UK.

Advantages and Innovations

The company is renewing the entire dock and deck world with this innovative solution. The dock concept’s structural design and modular construction enable easy and quick assembly at site with no special tools needed. No measuring or cutting, no material waste nor littering. The docks and decks are 100 % water resistant and maintenance-free, with no rotting or splintering. The UV protected velvety deck surface is not slippery in rain or frost.

Expected Role of a Partner

The company is looking for local distribution partners, who would take full responsibility for local market development.

The company is especially interested in finding partners in Sweden, Estonia, Norway Denmark, Germany, and the UK.
