Dermal Hub
A successful supply chain for a unique and impressive product which is now available across Australia here https://dermalhub.com.au/collections/halo
-
DeBusinesses can encounter many challenges when setting up manufacturing of goods –especially when precision is paramount.
So when the Dermal Hub team wanted to bring the technically demanding Dermal Hub Halo to market, they came to hone.pd and partners SupplyWise.
The product had to satisfy specific requirements to pass the UV400 protection bench mark, while also maintaining its size, optical clarity and scratch resistance.
Working closely with hone.pd and the Dermal Hub Halo team, SupplyWise engaged in technical liaison with factories specialising in lens production in Australia, Korea, Malaysia, Taiwan and China. A manufacturer in Malaysia was identified as the right partner for this project and production commenced in 2019.
The result is a successful supply chain for a unique and impressive product which is now available across Australia.
