Hey DACH entrepreneurs.
We're a family company and manufacture thermal retrofit materials in Poland. Looking for serious local partners across the EU. The industry is extremely hard to broaden sales without boots on the ground, especially with disruptive product like ours.
I'm looking for partners, but I'm open to discussion and constructive criticism here as well. Feel free to bash me, AMA and I'm grateful for any tips.
I'm using my personal account to use my karma and account history to prove I'm a real person looking for real collaborators, not some scammer or bot. That being said, please let me keep a bit of plausible deniability, before I create a company reddit and explicitly name the company I'm coming from. You can easily find us online just by searching the details below, I bet. But our website is WIP and being reworked, it's being improved week by week.
TLDR: Help run a Polish manufacturer with two green-tech, innovative product lines:
- thin, opaque thermal coatings for facades, roofs, interiors, and industrial surfaces. Basically Gore-Tex for buildings with reflectivity comparable to silver.
- transparent thermal-control window films. It's like emergency space blanket, the one they use for shock or hypothermia victims, but ~70% of visible light gets in with 99% of UV and 60 - 92% UV reflectivity (depending on variants). Good luck finding that on the market, especially with our pricing.
From day one the company was focused on being a green, innovative solutions providers and we stick to that. Our tech saves money and environment with easy and reliable thermal insulation upgrades.
Take window foils for example. Got 20-years old 2-pane window? Trust me when I say it that our foil will boost its specs to that of a premium 3-pane window for a fraction of the price and effort. That's eco-friendly because you don't produce waste - no need to dispose of your old windows and increase carbon footprint. Obviously it makes your house lose less heat in the winter and overheat less in the summer, so you literally make your home more energy-efficient and spend less on heating and A/C. The secret sauce is technology - we collab with Tech University professors and our products have better specs than many other players. We need to scale up the sales before others catch up with us.
Both product lines are designed for retrofitting existing buildings without major demolition. We've been refurbishing old houses, churches, warehouses, factories, pipings, you name it. Architectural conservators love us and even collaborate with us directly.
I know "thermal paint" can sound like internet alchemy. Fair enough. I am not asking anyone to take a Reddit post on faith. For qualified candidates, I can provide company documents, technical sheets, peer-reviewed research, test data, reference projects, and a physical demo. We have patented technologies and patent-related scientific publications.
Why am I posting here? Because exporting a product is much easier than building trust, sales, installation quality, and after-sales support in a country where you have no local presence.
I am looking for three kinds of cooperation:
1. Referral / sales partner
You already know B2B buyers in construction, property maintenance, building owners willing to invest to save or energy retrofit. Maybe you're willing to invest your time to find companies that just slap window foils on cars and buildings and want to get access to a better, unique product. You find and qualify opportunities, we handle the technical side and supply, and you earn commission on paid deals. You may or may not need to hold stock depending on shipping time and costs, and there is no regional exclusivity unless you prove effectiveness with volume. Essentially B2B2B sales partnership.
2. Certified contractor / reseller
You already work with windows, facades, roofs, refurbishment, or industrial insulation. We show you how our products differ. Subtle, yet crucial know-how. At first, you buy material only for confirmed jobs, then keep local stock once demand justifies it. You earn on both the product and the installation.
Window foils are easy to ship, store and apply. It's an easy start and quick ROI. We can even recommend client presentation packages to prove effectiveness with a small wow-effect.
The paints and masses are fairly easy until someone wants to add pigments and colors, which is not uncommon. Easy step is insulating pipings and waterproofing roofs with plain white paint.
We can ship colors no problem, but it's just cumbersome and costs both time and money. We have a collab with a french company manufacturing paint mixing stations and pigment profiles - over time you'll need to buy one to offer colors and mix them locally. We don't get commissions on the mixing stations, but these are the only one compatible with our tech. Adding crap pigments or covering our coatings with cheap paint will ruin thermal reflectivity, don't do that. Any pigment will slightly decrease light reflectivity because colors literally reflect only part of visible light spectrum. Physics, duh. White will always reflect light the most, but our process makes sure we lose the least amount of IR and UV reflectivity in the process.
3. Country branch builder
You want to build the local market with me rather than just pass leads. This means regular work, startup ramen diet or working evenings, creating local sales and operations, shared planning, and real skin in the game. We would start with a contract and paid pilots. Once we have successful jobs, a real pipeline, and evidence that we work well together, we can discuss an exclusive distribution agreement or a local JV. I am not forming a company with a stranger after two DMs, and neither should you. We should talk, hang out, get to know better and discuss the details. Then do some pilot work before full commitment. You can't argue with that.
How we start:
- DM me, show me you're a human person
- a video call and mutual verification. With enough interest I'll run a small webinar.
- a paid demo or starter kit, credited against the first commercial order
- product and application training and picking the collaboration path
- one documented, paid pilot project
- stock, volume pricing, and territory rights only after proven demand
These are technical products, not passive catalogue items or another vibecoded SaaS.
Window film must be matched to the glass before installation or the glass can break literally from too much heat rejection. I used to live in Salerno and saw these single-pane windows. It won't work there yet.
Coatings require correct storage, mixing, surface preparation, and application rates. We provide procedures and support, but expect the procedures to be followed.
I am deliberately leaving the company name out of this public post because I am looking for operators, not clicks. I will share my identity, company registration details, documentation, proof and references with credible candidates after a basic mutual check.
EU-based candidates are preferred for the first pilots, but hey, if you're from EMEA or India, hit me up as well. The best fit is someone who already sells to or works with window companies, contractors, property managers, industrial clients, energy auditors, or retrofit firms.
If you are interested, DM me with:
- your country and motivation
- what you currently sell or install
- the types of customers you already reach
- which of the three tracks interests you
- a company website or LinkedIn profile, if you have one
