EXIT STRATEGY
The pouch has the ability to become one of the leading brands in several categories. At the same time we are only entering into a limited number of the potential huge variety of applications for the pouch. We therefore consider our company to be well positioned as a premier buy-out for a larger packaging company within three to five years from incorporation.
Within this time frame we will have all the critical elements in place to make a buy-out very attractive:
We will have mastered the manufacturing technology to bring the product to market.
The patents on the technology as well as the manufacturing process will have been well established and proven in the marketplace.
The consumer need and acceptance of the technology will have been proven
Several premier brands will be packaging product in the technology, while a large number of categories will remain unexplored providing upside potential to a larger firm.
Application Technologies will be profitable with a strong management team in place.
