Licensing
Kebony does not intend to reach its ambitious growth targets alone. Our strategy depends on a partnership concept where licensing is in the core.
Kebonys long-term objective is to build a world leading materials brand based on sound technology, manufacturing excellence, global sales and distribution, marketing and logistics. This holistic approach will enable all participants in the Kebony brand family to achieve superior returns on their investment. In the future, a Kebony plank made in the Norway, US or Australia will all look the same and have the same quality attributes. The local licensor will manufacture, market and sell products in their own markets, but also benefit from Kebony’s global sales and marketing initiatives to both the project market and the industrial markets that increasingly source globally.
The ultimate goal is to establish Kebony as an independent market leader both in geographical markets and specific segments. The key value driver will be to succeed in licensing the Kebony technology to manufacturers operating in specific geographical markets or segments.
Kebony has a technology and production set-up that can be licensed. The product development process has gone through more than 10 years of thorough internal and external testing. The factory in Norway was designed with licensing in mind, is thoroughly documented and tested, and is ready to be “copied” to potential licensees.
At every step of the way in R&D and production process design, considerable attention is given to creating data capturing for optimization and quality control. This forms a vital part of our ongoing IP strengthening efforts and is central to the license platform. In essence a Kebony plank produced in one location should be no different from one made in another location.
For a licensee this enables access to delivering products to our global project sales effort and to benefit from global marketing and PR in local markets as the products meet the same standards. They can also sell beyond their own capacity by calling on supply from other Kebony partners around the world.
Kebony is seeking licensing partners who share our values of providing environmentally friendly wood – to the world.
