The Swedish company is entering the automotive care market with two brands, targeting both mainstream and premium segments. It intends to launch in Sweden and expand across the Nordic region. The company requests a supply of private-label car care products for end users, initially including car shampoo, cold and alkaline degreasers, all-purpose cleaner, interior cleaner, and microfiber accessories. It welcomes multiple specialist suppliers for different product lines. The company will provide labels in the required formats. The company aims to establish long-term, stable collaboration to ensure consistent product quality, reliable deliveries, scalable capacity, and joint development of differentiated variants (colours, scents) under NDA. International cooperation is envisaged with EU-based manufacturers that can provide samples, complete product data sheets, and host regular audits of production facilities. Cooperation would include clear ordering routines (MOQs, payment terms, delivery times), technical support, and periodic site visits for quality control and roadmap planning. Technical Specification or Expertise Sought • Ability to manufacture mid- to premium-quality car care liquids: car shampoos; cold and alkaline degreasers (including concentrated alkaline); all-purpose cleaner; interior cleaner; plus microfiber accessories supply. • Private label/OEM capability: accept buyer-supplied artwork; print and apply labels to agreed formats and substrates; support colour and scent customisation. • Regulatory compliance: full product data sheets (SDS) and technical data sheets; conformity with EU chemicals legislation (e.g., CLP labelling) and transport rules; capacity to support Nordic language labelling. • Quality systems: documented QC processes; batch traceability; sample provision; openness to factory audits; ideally ISO-certified operations. • Initial capacity and logistics: ability to supply indicative first order volumes (~1,500 L shampoo; 1,500 L cold degreaser; 500 L concentrated alkaline degreaser; 200 L APC; 200 L interior cleaner) with defined MOQs, lead times, and delivery to Sweden. • R&D support: joint development of differentiated fragrances/colours under NDA; guidance on performance benchmarks and stability testing. • Sustainability options: proposals aligned with market expectations (e.g., biodegradable surfactants, reduced VOCs, recycled packaging), where feasible. Expected role of a partner The partner should be an EU-based manufacturer/developer of automotive care chemicals and a broker/supplier of microfiber accessories. Tasks include: - producing private label formulations to agreed specifications - printing and applying buyer-provided labels - supplying complete SDS/TDS documentation - meeting EU compliance and Nordic labelling needs - and providing consistent quality and on-time deliveries. The partner is expected to support joint R&D on colours and scents under NDA, accommodate site visits and audits, propose MOQs and lead times that fit the launch plan, and collaborate on continuous product improvement. Exclusivity for defined Nordic territories may be negotiated based on performance.
