Custom Production in Detail

In order to achieve and secure constant growth it is crucial to constantly expand your product range. New and individual products will enable you to conquer new target groups and markets, as well as help you stand out among your competitors. One of the greatest pay-offs of continuous product range expansion, product innovation and improvement of existing products is customer loyalty. A crucial element for success is customized product development, tailored to your corporate and/or brand design. Other important factors are low production costs and the supervision/compliance of fixed quality standards.

Idea: we first examine and evaluate your product, the size and structure of your target market in conjunction with the projected product life cycle and marketing budget.

Upon completion of quality control, the goods will be shipped. As additional customer options, we offer storage possibilities as well as the distribution of your product „Just-In-Time“.

Already know our brands?

Right from the start openmindz specialized in creative and high-quality products and convinced the customers with goal-oriented know-how and free consulting. The individual custom-made products became the core competence of openmindz.

Individual products right from the start: With the help of close friends in China, the first own bath duck designs and the first plush animals were initially designed and produced as mascots for the customers. Further production sites soon followed and the portfolio of suitable suppliers in Germany and worldwide grew steadily. The positive feedback from customers helped openmindz to grow rapidly. The two successful business divisions for rubber ducks and stuffed animals were given the name „squeakworld“ and “softcuddlyworld” right from the start and are now making their own brand appearance. Meanwhile the squeakworld is one of the leading suppliers for rubber ducks and custom-made bath toy productions. The same is true for the plushtoyplanet, which over the years has established itself as a renowned manufacturer of high-quality plush mascots and individual cuddly toys of all kinds.

At the beginning of 2008, the family business moved into a new company building in Heidelberg. The fact that Heidelberg is a university location ensured that openmindz was able to grow strongly with the help of new, well-educated employees. Only four years later, openmindz had to move again because the office space had become too small due to a team that had grown further and the warehouse which quickly became too small. In 2012, the company moved within Heidelberg into the freshly renovated office in the city center located in the Bahnhofstraße. In the warehouse there is space for approximately 750 000 rubber ducks, which are available besides the many other new creations and the imports stocked for customers. Since 2019 openmindz maintains a further large warehouse, so that now even better the storage desires of the customers can be dealt with. As part of openmindz’s full- service offer, the products can be shipped just-in-time and according to the customer’s wishes.
