Some Samples of Our
Experience
|
In 1994
the Suncoast Company, an NYSE listed manufacturer of
Melamine dishes and the third largest vendor of commercial
tableware was actively searching for a partner with which to
jointly develop a line of Fiberglass food trays. Transmark’s
familiarity with an Israeli Fiberglass manufacturer with
experience in food tray design and fabrication led to a
joint design and manufacturing venture that required
extensive interaction between the American and Israeli
companies and their respective managements, engineers,
design teams and production experts. During two years of
product development, Transmark supervised and facilitated
the execution of every interactive process between the two
companies including the financial, technical, design and
fabrication team work that was required to successfully add
eight new products to Suncoast’s Foodservice Catalog. |

Vapor
Products, an Orlando, Florida based family owned mid-sized
manufacturing company produced a line of Mildew suppressants
and dehumidifying agents. In 1993 Transmark's joint venture
experts met with the Chairman of Sano, Israel's largest
supplier of household cleaning and maintenance supplies.
Sano, known for its competitiveness, was stymied by a
large competitor that was successfully marketing a Swedish
manufactured dehumidifying Tray. Transmark was requested to
assist in identifying a competing product in the US. After a
significant research effort, Transmark learned that Vapor
had, in the past, manufactured a Tray similar to the Swedish
product. The finding prompted an eigt month process during
which Transmark managed the mutual development of a Vapor
manufactured Dehumidifying Tray for Sano. Vapor which had
all but given up on the product revived its production line
and for more than seven years supplied Sano with an American
made tray that successfully competed and ultimately replaced
the competing Swedish product. |

Springs
Industries is the largest manufacturer of home textiles in
the United States. In 1995 the company found tremendous
interest in a technology developed by an Israeli company by
which fabric is fused to plastic in an innovative
manufacturing process. The Transmark Corporation was
appointed to manage a multi-year process during which Springs
and the Israeli manufacturer jointly developed a range of
bathroom accessories for the American market. Transmark was
responsible for managing the negotiations phase,
facilitating communications between design and technical
teams, and supervising production and delivery schedules.
Springs matched the new products to their shower curtain
designs and introduced them with great fanfare to the public
during the Fall Textile Market Week in New York. |

In 2000,
Transmark successfully partnered an Israeli commercial wheel
manufacturer and Colson Caster Corporation, the largest
Caster vendor in the world. The Israeli company had
developed a commercial caster entirely manufactured from
plastic. Colson was searching for an entirely plastic caster
for its future plastic shopping cart solution. The two
companies embarked on a joint R&D and manufacturing venture,
mediated and facilitated by Transmark. The project’s
various business and technical processes were monitored and
in many cases streamlined by Transmark’s intervention on
both communicative and collaborative levels. By 2003 Colson
was prepared to begin marketing the Israeli manufactured all
plastic casters. |
