THE CHALLENGE
EvoShave reached out to Hugin Consulting for help in cutting down on their manufacturing costs by outsourcing a part of the EvoShave Series 2 production to Poland, including the new reusable carry case for their primary starter pack.
OUR SOLUTION
We helped EvoShave in following ways:
-
identified and found optimal subsuppliers in Poland (tooling workshops & injection moulders)
-
shortlisted and checked the candidate companies before introducing them to EvoShave executives
-
accompanied EvoShave representatives during their initial visits to Poland and assisted in negotiations.
-
supervised the entire mould manufacturing process and production start without EvoShave physical presence in Poland during the Covid-19 pandemic.
-
providing ongoing counsel and advice on doing business in Poland
FINAL RESULTS
Complete production launch of the EvoShave Series 2 Reusable Carry Case for their initial Starter Pack. The project spanned from sourcing the production tool to the supervision of the first production batches with a Polish injection moulding partner.
BUSINESS OUTCOMES
-
50% cost reduction on the manufacturing of the carry case which increased the global sales margins
-
Increased production capacity (up to one million units per month)
-
Savings on production launch 50.000 EUR (as compared to the United Kingdom)
