Good day Fastline friends,
This is my first thread at inside territory. More about what I am doing You can read in this post:
Product sourcing from Eastern Europe
But in short I have steel structures production factory in Klaipeda, Lithuania where I am producing steel structures for industrial objects like sports halls, shops, warehouses etc. All that is doing well and fine most of the year (like at the moment production is full for 2 months in front), but every year it is repeating the same routine, that at the middle of December final orders are placed and usually produced till the end of January and February - April there is very low activity in this market. In these 3 months fixed costs are the same as all other months (even higher because of heating), which are not covered by filled production and margins.
All the projects produced now are custom made for specific project and orders, however this year I am trying to find the product to produce in this low season to sell after it is produced (B2B or B2C don`t know yet). I have been thinking about this for about 3-4 months, but not yet approach any good idea. I has been thinking about anchor bolts or some standard size shelters, maybe some railings or some outside gym equipment, but somehow I don`t think these are the products which will be easy to sell in the market.
Maybe You have ideas for the products which can be produced from the steel for some Home Depot type shops or some series type product needed for companies or customers? Maybe I am missing some possibilities You know already. I don`t think it is allowed to put links to external sites so mostly in the production it is possible to do everything from black steel which requires cutting, drilling, welding, milling, painting etc.
Will be very thankful for any ideas and we can discuss it here in next topics!
