Licensing Program Overview

Welcome to the SMUPI Licensing Program, a unique opportunity for companies to collaborate and become partners in the success of the SMUPI system. We believe in the power of collaboration and aim to create a mutually beneficial environment where all partners thrive. This overview will provide you with a comprehensive understanding of our licensing program, the different licenses available, and how they can benefit your business.

1. Connecting Components License:


The backbone of the SMUPI system lies in its connecting components, which enable the seamless integration of modules. We invite two specialized companies, one in metal cold stamping and one in plastic stamping, to apply for a license to manufacture these essential components. Once licensed, these companies will have the exclusive right to produce and supply the connecting components, ensuring the consistent availability and quality of this crucial element.

2. Material-Specific Licenses:


To expand the versatility of the SMUPI system, we offer material-specific licenses to companies specializing in various materials. For example, if your company specializes in MDF (Medium-Density Fiberboard) Corian or similar mineral material material, you can apply for a license to manufacture SMUPI modules using that specific material. The license may also grant exclusivity in a specific geographical area, allowing you to serve local markets effectively. In areas where other companies express interest, they can also obtain licenses, promoting healthy competition and ensuring optimal market coverage. We encourage collaboration among material-specific licensees to share best practices and foster innovation within the SMUPI ecosystem.

3. Modular Pillow License:


The SMUPI system includes modular pillows made with latex, a material produced in tropical areas worldwide. As part of our licensing program, we seek partners to become licensees for manufacturing the engineered upholstered proprietary shape of these pillows. This license offers an opportunity to establish your company as a recognized producer of SMUPI modular pillows, catering to the growing demand for customizable and comfortable solutions in the furniture industry.

4. Cover and Liners License:


To ensure consistency and compatibility across SMUPI modules, we offer cover and liners licenses. These licenses are ideal for companies specializing in producing high-quality covers and liners. The variability of print designs requires a diverse range of licensees, each contributing their unique artistic touch. We enforce zipper compatibility to guarantee interoperability of the specular sides of the liners, enabling easy assembly and maintenance for end-users.

Benefits of Becoming a Licensee:

  • Exclusive Rights: Each licensee will have exclusive rights to manufacture and supply their specific licensed components or products, ensuring market differentiation and the potential for increased profits.
  • Market Expansion: With the SMUPI system gaining global recognition, licensees can leverage this opportunity to expand their business into new geographical areas, subject to market demand and competitive shipping costs.
  • Collaborative Network: Licensees become part of a collaborative network, exchanging knowledge, best practices, and fostering innovation within the SMUPI ecosystem.
  • Brand Promotion: Licensees will enjoy the benefits of brand association with SMUPI, contributing to the establishment of a recognized and trusted presence in the market.
  • Marketing Support: We provide marketing support to our licensees, including digital and print materials, promotion on our website, and participation in industry events to increase visibility and attract potential customers.

At SMUPI, we believe that the success of our partners is integral to the success of the SMUPI system as a whole. Our licensing program is designed to foster collaboration, drive innovation, and provide a platform for companies to excel in their respective industries. Join us on this exciting journey and unlock the potential of the SMUPI system within your business.
