Licensing

TUA traditionally coats all products in-house, though we understand that in certain circumstances this may not be the best solution for your delivery commitments. We can establish a licensing agreement, with our services, knowledge and experience always available in order to answer any questions you may have towards the efficient and successful implementation of any of our coatings into your process or production line. If needed, we will even visit your facilities and provide hands-on assistance in the feasibility of establishing a coating department or modification of your existing procedures. The steps taken in acquiring a licensing agreement are explained below:
STEP 1
Reach out to TUA so that we can collectively explore your product, needs and preferred outcomes. We’ll enter a mutual NDA, set up conference call(s), exchange information and introduce you to our production team.
STEP 2
Complimentary sample run, similar to our core process, in which you will send product to TUA in order to identify the right solution from its current line-up of coatings. Shipping costs are the responsibility of the customer.
Should additional work be needed to make sure that a TUA coating works for your product, we’ll continue to move through sample runs until we get ideal results.
STEP 3
Upon selecting the formula that meets the customer requirements, TUA will generate a per piece price quotation based on the quantity / complexity of coating the device at TUA’s facility.
The license agreement will contain some combination of the following:
Base license fee paid in full or installments
Royalty per piece of each device coated
Price per pint / liter / gallon / drum of formula
Legal fees, travel expenses and per diem charge for start-up assistance and any travel
