Bring us the category, the idea or the product you want to improve. We connect development, sourcing and execution around your retail brief.

Three starting points

Bring the opportunity.
We’ll shape the program.

We can begin with a category, an idea, an existing product or a specific retail objective—then build the product and supply solution around it.
  1. Start with a category.

    “Build us a stronger pantry program.” We study the category, define the assortment opportunity and develop the product architecture around it.

  2. Start with an idea.

    “We want this product, but better.” We develop the concept, features, engineering, packaging and manufacturing solution.

  3. Start with a product.

    “We need something like this.” We source the right manufacturing base, improve the product, build the assortment and commercialize the program.

Material, color & assortment development

Product + packaging

An assortment,
not just an item.

Features, colors, formats, packaging and shelf communication should work together. We develop the program as a system rather than adding the brand at the end.

Programs can be developed around retailer-exclusive features, colors, materials, configurations, packaging, patterns, collections and product systems. Where warranted, technical or visual differentiation can be developed alongside an appropriate intellectual-property strategy.

Discuss an assortment

One accountable development partner

Fewer handoffs.
Better decisions earlier.

From brief to release

The details that make
a program executable.

  1. Define the brief

    Category, audience, target retail, features, order profile and launch timing.

  2. Develop and sample

    Product direction, factory fit, prototypes, specifications and packaging.

  3. Confirm the program

    Approved samples, testing plan, production requirements and agreed commercial terms.

  4. Coordinate the launch

    Production readiness, artwork, inspection, shipment and merchandising assets.
