General information

Short Summary
The Irish company specialises in home fitness and studio equipment and accessories offering both direct-to-consumer and business-to-business solutions. They are seeking a partnership agreement with a European manufacturer capable of supplying high-quality machinery and accessories.
Full Description
In addition to specialising in home fitness and studio equipment, the client has developed a comprehensive on-demand class and community app. Offering a diverse range of live and recorded Reformer Pilates sessions, the app caters to all levels while enhancing the user experience by combining the flexibility of on-demand classes with the engagement of live sessions. This interactive approach fosters a strong sense of community and motivation, making Pilates practice more immersive and enjoyable.

The company is actively scaling its operations and expanding into new markets. As part of this growth strategy, it aims to establish manufacturing in Europe to reduce lead times and streamline the supply chain.

With consistent month-over-month growth and positive market trends, the company is seeking a strategic manufacturing partner in Europe to enhance production capabilities and support expansion.
Advantages and Innovations
The company's unique selling proposition lies in its exceptional design, premium quality, and carefully curated color options. It is transforming the home Reformer Pilates market by addressing key limitations of traditional models, which are often too large, non-foldable, and impractical for home use.

While the market is becoming increasingly competitive, there is currently no established leader in the home Reformer segment. The company aims to scale rapidly and secure funding to position itself as the market leader. CE certification is a key requirement as it expands its reach.
