Who we are

Klosters Trading Corporation, in business since 1987, is a provider of competitive intelligence in the toy, video game, consumer electronics and craft space. For information on its owner, Lutz Muller, please tab forward to the "Bio" Section.

Klosters' clients fall into two groups - one is large financial institutions who use Klosters as a resource for intelligence data on which to base investment strategies or recommendations; the other are manufacturers who look to Klosters to provide objective and accurate assessments on their competitors and themselves. Sometimes the latter also use Klosters' services to correct any shortcomings in operations so uncovered in this assessment.

Klosters relies on three source levels. The first are exclusive retailer panels of ten retail stores each - one panel for toys, the other for video games. These panels provide sell-though data, market shares, shelf space metrics and an assessment of manufacturer-related problems and opportunities. The second are national buyers at large toy and video game retialers both in the U.S. and Europe. These provide color on products and manufacturers. The third are third-party manufacturers in China who share information on costing and manufacturing issues relating to the toy and video game industry.
