TESTIMONIALS

“We are entering our 10th year working with MODA and they continue to exhibit great enthusiasm, creativity and strategic thinking with an eye to the bottom line. They maintain very high standards regarding royalty management and overall communications that is extremely important to our Organization.”
Greg Coble, Senior Vice President

“I want to acknowledge MODA for the significant contribution they have made toward the market development of UNIPAL Corrugated Pallets. When UNIPAL was first ready to be marketed, they identified a number of the first licensees and without their efforts, the viability of CPC (Corrugated Pallet Corp. the founding company) would have been in doubt. Of significant importance, in addition to the license agreements they were responsible for including Japan and Singapore, were their efforts to facilitate the “outright sale” of the UNIPAL proprietary property for both Korea and Spain. With this capital infusion, CPC was able to greatly enhance its manufacturing system technology and to develop and patent a number of other UNIPAL pallet features and the manufacturing system itself.”
Stanley Lee, President Corrugated Pallet Corporation
Manager of Licensing, Mondi Technology Investments

“MODA came to us in 1995 with the idea of licensing Snap-on for footwear.  They presented a compelling commercial reason for us to become the licensee.   They made it clear that the product had to reflect the high standards of the core Snap-on products.  We worked closely with MODA for years to develop and build a viable and profitable business.  We have the highest regard for their professionalism and management style. In fact, this was a licensing arrangement that endured the test of time…to this day, we still make shoes and boots for Snap-On. Thank you, Moda!
Bruce Pontner, President
Coastal Boot Company

“MODA adds tremendous value to the licensor-licensee relationship by looking out for their client’s needs while also looking out for our (the licensee) needs too. We are active in licensing, and our experience with licensing agencies has not always been positive. MODA has been great! Their talented team really adds value because they understand our channels of distribution and continue to challenge us with creative ideas and ways to help grow our business.”
Brian Budrow, Vice President of Marketing
Allied International

“As an active Licensee we are constantly solicited by licensing agents for properties they are representing. In my estimation, MODA stands out as exceptional. I was and continue to be extremely impressed by their professionalism, strategic thinking, creativity and follow-through. Their presentation on behalf of their client DuPont for LYCRA® was right on target. They not only articulated the viability of the LYCRA® brand extension but also had a sound understanding of its value to our business on a global basis. We continue to be impressed with their on-going management, communication, thinking, and retail and market knowledge.”
