Partner Sought

Expected Role of a Partner
The partner being sought should be able to produce high-quality hiking pants for summer and winter. The hiking pants are collected from the producer by the Austrian company via a forwarding agent. Partners are preferred if they have their own storage facilities, but this is not essential. It is also important that the partner already has a good range of functional fabrics and can make material suggestions to the Austrian company for further development to improve the products. It is also an advantage if the company in search can process merino wool.
