KR Industries – For-Profit Social Enterprise

OUR COMPANY

CREATING PARTNERSHIPS AROUND THE WORLD

Mission

Our core goal is to improve the working conditions and living standards of the skilled workers that make the amazing products we carry. To this end, we are creating a scalable model that brings immense value to the world, where the benefits will be shared with the makers and consumers, while capturing a fraction of this value for KR Industries. We are courageously taking on the task of executing optimal go-to-market strategies while solving the behind the scenes complex coordination required to successfully bring products to consumers. The genius lies in synchronizing all the pieces in the right manner.

Vision

KR Industries, brings medium to large makers in the developing world (e.g. manufacturers, crafts-teams, cooperatives) directly to online retail. By solving the complex coordination puzzle of global business management, providing custom and successful go-to-market strategies, developing a top-notch e-commerce marketplace, and streamlining product fulfillment, we plan to penetrate markets worldwide. Our commitment to quality, competitive pricing, and more equitable maker' margins are our key values. Makers that share a commitment to improving their lives and the lives of their employees will benefit from our custom support and a shorter, more efficient, distribution and sales channel.

Making a difference with your help

Our endeavor is about the products we use and the people who make these products; the story that is often hidden from the naked eye. This is about connecting with the many hearts and hands behind our collection. This is about ensuring that producers and suppliers are compensated living wages. This is about helping to confront fears and tackling poverty. We are working with individuals and teams of product makers to create an amazing network and collection of products. We are reaching out to like-minded, fair-trade organizations to learn from them. Our underlying purpose is the social and professional development of women and workers.

Current Project

We are starting out with handmade, leather bags with awesome quality, our proof of concept project. Through TheMakerWorld.com, we intend to create a template for additional product lines. Products will be available for both retail sale and wholesale distribution under the KR Industries brand. We also intend to create product lines for other brands who strive to do good for humanity.
