"Of course I'm interested in the future. After all, I want to spend the rest of my life in it." - Mark Twain
I would like to start by mentioning a quote that is as relevant and important today as it was when it was said, if not more so. The future. A complex concept that makes people argue. What does the future hold, what is tomorrow, in a year, in a hundred years? Nobody knows. But everyone has their assumptions and plans. So do we, a young company from the beautiful Seetal.
It all started a good year ago. Two friends who wanted to create something new, invent something that did not yet exist. The combination of economic knowledge on the one hand and artistic flair on the other led to the idea of the "NIKIN" brand and ultimately the first product, the "Treeanie", being born. Two simple people, hardly any financial resources, one golden idea. A Treeanie is basically nothing more than a winter hat, but it has a unique side effect. For every Treeanie, a tree is planted in selected locations around the world.
The first question was: how and where should these treeanies be produced? A small company, without much capital or investors. After long and complex research, the two founders finally decided on a comparatively fair and yet financially viable production in Asia - with the clear aim of moving production closer to home as soon as possible. With "only" twenty units per color of the three colors offered at the beginning, they were completely overrun. The shelves were completely empty in no time at all.
The project is up and running. It soon became clear that this onslaught could no longer be handled by the two of them alone. As a result of the growing interest, other helpers were brought on board. NIKIN gained national popularity last year, was able to launch more products and, thanks to this upswing, has been able to proudly call itself a limited company since the beginning of 2018.
NIKIN has grown and continues to grow, but the goals have remained the same: innovative products from fair production, made from sustainable materials and accessible to everyone. The necessary financial resources are now also available to achieve all these goals. Production, which was initially mainly based in Asia, is increasingly being relocated closer to home. The new edition of the Treeanies is currently being produced in Poland and the new TreeHoodies in Turkey. In future, NIKIN wants to move away from the conventional material polyacrylic, from which the Treeanies are made, and focus more on sustainable materials. We have dozens of alternative options available, such as yarn made from recycled jeans or polyester produced from collected marine waste.
NIKIN is excited to see what the future holds - we don't know yet. What is certain is that we want to continue to grow, make the most of our opportunities and spread our message.
