Private label

Your brand on every surface
a customer ever sees

Nothing we ship carries our name. From the engraving on the wood to the barcode on the carton, the product arrives as yours — whether you bring us a finished design or only the idea for one.

OEM

You bring the design

You have technical drawings, a reference product, or an item already selling that needs a better supplier. We quote against your specification and build to it — no redesign.

Usually: an established range, or a product moving production to Europe.

ODM

We develop it with you

You have a category, a price point and a clear idea of who buys it — but no drawings. We take it from sketch and brief through to a working sample you can put in front of a retail buyer.

Usually: entering a new category, or launching a first range.

Logo engraving or print

Laser engraved into the beech, or printed. Placement to your drawing.

Your finish palette

Stains, tints and colours mixed from our water-based range to your reference.

Branded packaging

Cartons, inserts and print to your artwork. Retail-ready or bulk.

Assembly manuals

Drawn, typeset and printed in your layout and language.

Barcodes & labelling

Your EAN codes, and GPSR labelling with your EU responsible person's details.

Conformity documentation

Declarations and technical documentation.

Materials & safety

The specification is yours,
not ours

Timber, coating system and certification route are agreed with you per project — what follows is what we default to when a partner has no preference of their own.

Solid beech

European hardwood, kiln-dried. Dense, closed grain and high impact resistance — the reason it has been the standard for children's furniture for a century. Used for all frames, rungs and load-bearing parts.

FSC-certified plywood

Multi-layer birch, bought certified from our supplier, used for panels, curved parts and bent components such as balance boards. Edges sanded and sealed, never left raw.

EN 71 certified coatings

Water-based lacquers and paints certified to EN 71-1, -2 and -3. No solvent smell on arrival, no off-gassing in the nursery, and the documentation to back it up.

What you can specify

Timber and its origin

Solid beech, FSC-certified birch plywood, or another species you need. If your market or your retailer requires a particular sourcing standard, we buy to it.

Coating system

Our default is a water-based system certified to EN 71-1, -2 and -3. If your retailer mandates a particular brand, or a harder wearing system, or an oil instead of a lacquer, we work to that.

Construction and finish

Joinery details, edge treatment, hardware, colour, flat-pack or assembled. Anything that changes the cost is quoted transparently.

The workshop

A real factory, 100 km
from the EU border

We are in Lviv, western Ukraine — closer to Kraków than to Kyiv. Thirty people, fifteen hundred square metres, and more than a decade of doing nothing but wood.

How it works

From first email to loaded truck

  1. 01

    Enquiry

    You send drawings, a reference product, or just a description of what you want to sell.

  2. 02

    Quotation

    Unit pricing, tooling costs if any, and a realistic schedule — back with you in 1–2 working days.

  3. 03

    Sample

    2–4 weeks. One physical sample, shipped to you, for exactly the product you'll sell.

  4. 04

    Sign-off

    Adjustments until the sample is right. Nothing goes to production before you approve it.

  5. 05

    Production

    4–6 weeks for a first run. Photos at key stages so you're never guessing.

  6. 06

    Delivery

    Packed to your specification and handed to your forwarder or ours.

Response time

1–2 working days to every enquiry. Including the ones that turn out not to be a fit.

Delivery terms

FCA or DAP — whichever suits your logistics. Your forwarder or ours.

Payment terms

40% on order confirmation, 30% before dispatch, and the final 30% once the goods reach you — within 1–2 days of delivery.

Most suppliers want every cent before the truck leaves. We keep 30% on the table until the goods are in your warehouse — so the delivery is still our problem too, not only yours.

Why source from Ukraine

Near-shoring that actually
shortens the chain

Two to three days to Central Europe

Road freight, not six weeks of ocean container. Reordering stops being a quarterly gamble.

Zero duty into the EU

Wooden furniture from Ukraine enters the EU duty-free under the EU–Ukraine free trade agreement. Confirm current classification with your customs broker.

European hardwood, at the source

Beech from the region it grows in. No intercontinental shipping built into your cost of goods.

Small runs are welcome

€5,000 opens an order. You can test a range in a season instead of committing a year of cash to one container.

FAQ

Questions buyers actually ask

What is the minimum order?

€5,000 per order, whether that is one item or several.

Can you produce our own design?

Yes — that is OEM production and it is most of what we do. We work from your technical drawings or from a physical reference sample, and we build to your specification rather than to our own interpretation of it. If you have the idea but no drawings, that is the ODM route: we develop the product with you from a brief through to a working sample. Both are described in the private label section above.

Do you have test reports and certificates?

Our coatings are certified to EN 71-1, -2 and -3, our birch plywood comes from FSC-certified supply, and we issue an EU Declaration of Conformity with every shipment in your brand's name. Supplier documentation is available on request.

Can we choose the materials ourselves?

Yes, and most partners do. Timber species and origin, coating system and brand, hardware, finish — all of it is specified per project rather than fixed by us. If your retailer mandates a particular certification or a particular supplier, we work to that. Our defaults exist for partners who have no preference, not as a limit.

Who is the responsible person under GPSR?

For private label production, the EU responsible person is normally you as the brand owner, or your appointed importer. We produce the product labelling and packaging to carry those details correctly.

Ukraine is at war. How reliable is supply?

A fair question, and here is the plain answer. Our workshop is in Lviv, in western Ukraine, roughly 100 km from the EU border — the region furthest from the fighting. Power supply at the site is stable and production is not interrupted by it. Across the last years we have not missed a delivery or stopped production once. We would rather you judged us on that record than on reassurances, and we are happy to go through it in detail with you.

What are your payment terms?

40% on order confirmation, 30% before the shipment leaves us, and the remaining 30% within 1–2 days of the goods reaching you. Holding a third back until delivery is not the usual arrangement in this industry, and it is deliberate: it keeps us accountable for the shipment arriving as it should.

Will our design stay confidential?

Yes. We sign an NDA before we see your drawings. We do not resell, adapt or re-offer a partner's product to anyone else — what we develop with you is made for you alone.

Do you offer territorial exclusivity?

It rarely comes up, because there is nothing to be exclusive against: your design is produced for you and for no one else, so there is no parallel supply into your market. If you have a specific arrangement in mind, put it in your first message and we will discuss it.

The more specific you are, the more useful our first reply will be. Product type, rough quantities and your target launch date are enough to get a real answer rather than a brochure.
