General information

Short Summary
A Swedish company specializing in unique, hand-driven kitchen tools, particularly whisks, is seeking distribution partners in Europe, the USA, Canada, and Japan. With a strong export history and a patented Omega whisk design, the company is looking for commercial agreements with retail chains, wholesalers, or agents in the kitchenware sector.
Full Description
This Swedish company, based in Östergötland, has been dedicated to inventing and selling high-quality, hand-driven kitchen tools since 2010. Its flagship product, the Omega whisk, is internationally protected under intellectual property law and has gained official recognition as an Applied Art piece. With nearly 900,000 units sold worldwide, the company has a well-established market presence.

Exporting constitutes 95% of the company’s sales, with the largest markets being Norway, Japan, Germany, France, and the USA. The Omega whisk is a revolutionary tool that bridges the gap between traditional whisks and slotted spoons, ensuring superior mixing capabilities and preventing food from sticking or burning at the bottom of cookware.

Apart from kitchen tools, the company is engaged in an energy-related research project exploring the movement of energy as a fundamental principle of life and evolution. A publication is planned, though a publisher has not yet been secured.

The company is now actively searching for partners with established distribution networks to expand its market reach. The ideal partner would be a chain of stores specializing in kitchenware and cooking utensils, although wholesalers and agents with a proven track record in sales are also of interest.
