Fire Knock Out (FKO) Leverages NXT Platform to Shift Sourcing Operations from China to India
Fire Knock Out (FKO), a leading Dutch company renowned for its innovative fire prevention agents, has strategically shifted its sourcing operations from China to India. This move has been facilitated by the advanced sourcing capabilities of the NXT Platform.
Traditionally, FKO sourced its fire prevention products from China. However, in early 2024, FKO explored new opportunities by connecting with the NXT Platform. This strategic partnership has enabled FKO to utilize NXT’s robust infrastructure in India to activate new raw material and product partners, facilitating the production of its fire prevention agents locally in India.
The NXT Platform serves as FKO’s primary sourcing and procurement hub in India, providing a comprehensive solution that enhances efficiency and scalability. Beyond sourcing, FKO had the opportunity to leverage the NXT Platform to distribute its products in key commercial destinations across Europe and North America, significantly expanding its market reach.
Victor Eveleens, NXT’s Director of Market Operations for Turkey, the Middle East, India, and the APAC region, commented on this pivotal development:
“As a Dutch SME, FKO faced challenges in scaling its internal sourcing operations. By integrating with the NXT Platform and utilizing our hub in India, they have not only enhanced their international sourcing capabilities but also opened the potential to explore sales and distribution in over 30 markets where NXT is present. We are excited to welcome more brands and manufacturers to our platform, offering a total infrastructure solution that meets their sourcing and distribution needs.”
