PM Studio Sets Ambitious Growth and Diversification Goals for 2025

Jan 20, 2025 at 7:48 PM
Founded in 2018, PM Studio has rapidly emerged as a leader in premium promotional objects and packaging solutions. Under the leadership of Patricia Stranik and Sven Döbert, the company is now poised to expand its global footprint and diversify its offerings. A recent LBO marks a significant milestone, setting the stage for accelerated growth and innovation.

Accelerating Innovation and Expansion in the Luxury Market

PM Studio's strategic vision for 2025 involves doubling its revenue within five years. The company, which has already achieved an impressive annual growth rate exceeding 30%, aims to build on this momentum by focusing on both organic and external growth opportunities. This ambitious goal underscores the company's commitment to expanding its market presence and enhancing its service portfolio.

Pioneering Strategic Acquisitions

In recent years, PM Studio has successfully integrated two key acquisitions—By No in 2022 and Edition Limitée in 2023. These moves have not only bolstered the company’s capabilities but also solidified its position in the luxury and beauty sectors. Moving forward, PM Studio is actively exploring new acquisition opportunities across Europe and the United States. The aim is to broaden its expertise and geographic reach, ensuring it remains at the forefront of industry trends.

International Expansion and Local Expertise

The decision to partner with Andera Partners for its first LBO reflects PM Studio's strategy to leverage dynamic and supportive investment. Andera's involvement will facilitate international expansion through targeted acquisitions rather than establishing new subsidiaries. This approach allows PM Studio to tap into local markets more effectively while maintaining its fabless model, which ensures optimal flexibility. Plans are underway to open a commercial office in Dubai in 2025, further extending the company’s global network that already includes locations in London, Geneva, and Switzerland.

Innovative Digital Transformation

To maintain its competitive edge in the luxury sector, PM Studio is investing heavily in digital innovation. The company has already digitized many stages of its creative processes, enabling rapid response to client demands with rich and tailored proposals. The integration of Flexarc, an IT firm specializing in ERP automation and life cycle analysis, has enhanced PM Studio's technological prowess. This proprietary technology provides real-time visibility into environmental impacts and positions PM Studio as a sustainability leader, having earned prestigious EcoVadis Platinum and B Corp certifications in 2023.

Sustainability at the Core

Sustainability is integral to PM Studio's business model. By offering detailed environmental impact analyses with every proposal, the company provides clients with transparent insights into cost and ecological effects. This forward-thinking approach has given PM Studio a decade-long head start in sustainability practices, reinforcing its reputation as a pioneer in eco-conscious design and manufacturing.

Building for the Future

Looking ahead, PM Studio plans to consolidate its Paris teams into new headquarters on Avenue d'Iéna in 2026. This move will include a showroom and materials laboratory, symbolizing the company's commitment to innovation and excellence. With these strategic initiatives, PM Studio is well-positioned to become a leading European player in high-end packaging and promotional products.
