Positioning

Your European market & strategy partner

We connect the requirements of the European market with high-performance Asian product development and production across all key product groups in Home & Living.

We are not a platform and we do not publish an open supplier list. We work with a hand-picked selection of suppliers whom we represent in the European market and bring them together with the buyers they fit.

Not a sales agency in the traditional sense. But the connection between market knowledge and product expertise. 

WE UNDERSTAND ALL SIDES

Market

  • European retail
  • Price points
  • Trends

Product

  • Strategic range development

Production

OUR APPROACH

Three routes to new products

01

Market-driven

We identify opportunities in your product range.

We analyse product range structure, price levels and collection strategies and identify  potential opportunities.

02

Customer-driven

You tell us what you are looking for.

You define category, price levels and timing. We bring the right manufacturers.

03

Developed together

We develop something entirely new together.

From the first sketch to the product series, exclusively for your product range.

The next step is almost always personal: visiting our suppliers' showrooms in Asia or the relevant trade fairs together – exactly where ranges are created.

Portrait of Nils Daube

About me

Nils Daube

Owner, European Market Solutions ND e.K.

I have decades of experience in sourcing and sales in the Home & Living sector. During this time I have worked on both sides for well-known major customers from Europe and around the world. Together we have shaped highly individual purchasing processes in substance and implemented them sustainably. Thanks to curiosity and an open, creative mindset among everyone involved, we have repeatedly succeeded in building new business areas.

I lived in Asia for many years and know both sides of the table: what European buying organisations require and the possibilities of Asian manufacturing. That is exactly where my work begins.
