    Hi guys.

    I have my prototype developed, accepted and loved by the industry, I have my patent in place but what I’m looking for is a company to take it on regarding manufacturing and distribution.

    I do have warehousing and distribution sorted in the US but manufacturing in general is proving an issue.

    My question is, are their companies out there that help source manufacturers / distributors for products that are new to the market, if so where are they found

    If it's the States you're after check out https://www.keychain.com/ It's an Irish-owned business that acts as intermediary to manufacturers and people like yourself. They're predominantly food/drink based but they may be able to help.

    What type of product is it?

    I'd agree with Gloomtastic, if its your first foray into manufacturing it would be good to have an experienced partner to get started.

    I’m involved in the music industry, I developed an alternative to using guitar stands.
