    GLUETEC PRODUCT CATALOGUE ADHESIVES · SEALANTS · AEROSOLS 2018 "Being successful requires two things: NEWS Clear objectives and a burning desire to achieve them." Johann Wolfgang von Goethe Welcome to the world of GLUETEC. My father's entrepreneurial spirit is characterised by a firm belief and the irrepressible drive for continuous progress. He founded WIKO Klebtechnik e.K. more than 20 years ago as a one-man company in my family home. With the courage to strike out on new paths and to provide solutions for his customers in a great variety of different sectors, WIKO grew continuously. Today our customers can rely upon a renowned and broad range of industrial adhesive and sealant products. It was not simple for me to tread in my father's footsteps and to found my own company. Since I founded GlueTec Indutrieklebstoffe GmbH & Co. KG in 2000, I have focussed on the growing market of high- quality, two-component mehtyl-methacrylate adhesives. In 2012 the close cooperation between the two companies WIKO and GLUETEC lead to a common corporate name. WIKO and their brands were integrated into GLUETEC and the management was led from this point forward together with my father. Again and again we set new challenges for ourselves and strive for innovation and creative solutions for our customers. Today, more than 20 years after the founding of WIKO, we can look back together at our success, our workforce and our families. With sites in Germany, Poland and Slovenia as well as long-standing sales partnerships in many European countries, we are growing continuously and have positioned ourselves firmly in the European market as innovative experts for adhesives, sealants and aerosols.

    TD 8 : Mr. Alain de Rozaven Bastien Bonneau : [email protected] Janette Chea : [email protected] Samy Abdou : [email protected] Ruixuan Qu : [email protected] Erdem Kiranoglu : [email protected] Introduction The strategic analysis of a company is the application of theoretical and conceptual frameworks. Its methodology is to understand the success or failure of a company during its life. As future managers, our report will study how a small company, Wiko, with a low-cost strategy, conquered the Smartphone market where the giant constructors seemed unbeatable. In early 2014, Wiko was ranked second on the French market for the sale of Smartphone without bundle subscription. They were just behind Samsung, with 10 to 15% of the market share. Wiko was created in 2011 in Marseille by Laurent Dahan and it is Tinno’s subsidiary at 95%. Tinno is a mobile technology limited company, and they supply products and services used to work on GSM cards as a first-class manufacturer. Tinno's strategy is to supply technology support for their European Corporate Clients, for a small investment with quick result and high economic benefits. Wiko has developed a special commercial partnership; the Chinese team is in charge of developing and producing mobile phones desired by Wiko depending of the market’s location (France, Europe, and USA). The French company is also responsible for the marketing and selling strategy. How did a three year old company succeed as Wiko did? This success intrigued us and we wanted to learn more about it and explain the key success.
