A wrinkled carpet isn’t just a nuisance; it can also represent a danger. Customers love our no slip products, because they make life around the home, office, and car a little easier and safer. Retailers love these products too, because we can offer high margins and packaging designed to make the product move.
Our home and office products come in attractive packaging and are positioned to be a feel-good buy and consume less shelf space. Optimum Technologies was recently nominated for the Martha Stewart American Made awards in packaging design.
You’ll find our products on the shelves of almost all of the biggest retailers in the United States as well as at retail locations around the world. We also work with regional and small retailers and offer private label packaging.
