swing2sleep GmbH
Neumünster, Germany
Europe's leading manufacturer of motorised baby hammocks. Founded in 1999, built without investors or external capital. From the garage to 8-figure annual revenue - through a personal bankruptcy that could have ended everything.
Over 700,000 families trust swing2sleep products. 959 Trustpilot reviews with 98.3% satisfaction. The smarla hammock won the German Innovation Award in 2023.
MS-Strategy holds the trademark rights and advises swing2sleep strategically on brand positioning, product strategy and standardisation (DIN/CEN/ISO). This is the live IP structure that underpins the consulting work in brand and licensing.
