General information
- Short Summary
- A Swedish marine conservation company seeks a reliable bracelet manufacturer within or near the EU under a supplier agreement. The company produces bracelets that fund ocean plastic removal and seeks a long-term, sustainable production partner.
- Full Description
-
The Swedish SME is dedicated to protecting marine life by funding ocean plastic removal through the sale of handmade bracelets. Each bracelet sold finances the removal of at least one kilogram of ocean plastic, with over 80,000 kg removed to date. The company operates cleanup efforts along Sweden’s west coast and is currently seeking a long-term, environmentally and socially responsible manufacturing partner to produce its bracelets.
The company’s primary motivation is to establish a stable, scalable, and ethical production relationship that ensures high product quality, timely delivery, and clear communication. The company anticipates ordering approximately 17,000 bracelets in 2025, with projected growth of 20–30% annually. The company is also looking to reduce emissions by sourcing materials closer to the production site.
The preferred cooperation type is a Supplier Agreement, as the company is looking for a partner to handle the production of its bracelets. This agreement type supports the company’s goals of consistent quality, ethical standards, and long-term collaboration. The desired outcome is a reliable, scalable partnership that supports the company’s mission and growth.
