Intemporel Interview for Premium Sourcing 2020
Intemporel will be present at Premium Sourcing. Focus on a company that promotes paper products and with many values (know-how, quality, creativity, reactivity …) with Roger Thaumiaud, sales director.
Present your company and its strong points
The company Intemporel has 4 production workshops: 3 in Northern Italy (Bergamo, Verona) and 1 in Lyon. Our team is composed of 74 people, 2 of whom are dedicated solely to research and development in design, materials and production (Milan School of Fine Arts). This is one of our strong points, our serious and professional team offers a great reactivity (estimate within 24H-48H). We make it a point of honour to keep our commitments to quality and deadlines. This has enabled us to obtain several awards over the last 4 years in Milan, Düsseldorf, Madrid and Lyon. We put paper in the spotlight in our offers, especially the diaries that we stock in large quantities (34 models, 84 colours available, deliverable within 2 weeks). Finally, we have opted for the short circuit with only 4 European partners for supplies (France, Italy, Spain and Holland).
Our values: know-how, quality, creativity, support, commitment, availability and reactivity.
Launches and novelties: What are you presenting on your stand on September 2nd and 3rd?
During Premium Sourcing we will present a great novelty that revolutionizes paper: connected diaries and notebooks. Presented jointly with the Senzu company, it’s a product that offers many possibilities. We will also present the compostable paper notebooks and the paper with integrated seeds. This is a very trendy range because it meets a demand from advertisers for more environmentally friendly products. Finally, we will present our new collection of notebooks.
What answer do you propose to the market with your new products?
This year is a special year where the entire market for advertising objects and textiles is directly impacted. According to our June/July market surveys of our distribution partners, they confirm that advertisers are maintaining their commitments on vintage products (calendars & diaries). Thanks to our stock and our reactivity of delivery, we allow later orders due to delays in order decisions:
2 weeks for stock agendas
6-8 weeks for special productions
4 to 6 weeks for standard and custom banking calendars
2 to 3 weeks for sheet calendars
How is Premium Sourcing an important event for you?
PREMIUM SOURCING is extremely important for our profession.
For manufacturers and importers it is one of the most important events of the year because September is a preview of the new products and collections of the end of the year.
For distributors, September is THE most important month of the profession. It is during this period that advertisers place the most orders for promotional items and end of year gifts. Premium Sourcing allows distributors to find new ideas through the work done by manufacturers and importers.
The appointment of Premium Sourcing is necessary for the whole profession.
