The Vimax Business Model
Our business model is to find partner companies across the world who wish to manufacture and market our products under license. These partner companies typically use distributors in their area to market and sell the products. Through our licensing agents (Inventions UK, www.inventionsuk.com), we sold the UK and Eire rights to Reward Manufacturing in June 2003. The North American rights were sold to Medico Industries in December 2003. The most recent license is with Anglo Siam Holdings for the Middle East, Asia and Australasia which was agreed in September 2004. We are keen to talk to other interested parties in the remaining regions: South America, mainland Europe and Africa. We are also keen to talk to companies who are interested in acting as distributors for the Talking Kone and Talking Box anywhere in the World. Click here to find the right contact information.
