taketray – No.1 in Europe
Made in Switzerland.
Experience shows that pocket ashtrays are only used if they are also functional. Together with the University of Applied Sciences in Rapperswil and the target group, we developed the taketray: The first pocket ashtray that meets all functional requirements for practical use. In addition, it is manufactured in an environmentally friendly way from recycled material.
Our market success proves us right! We have become the market leader in Europe. For example, we won an international competition in England. Our taketrays are distributed throughout England. Your benefit: You can be sure that the taketray will achieve optimum acceptance among the target group, which means that the taketray will be used regularly in everyday life. This is the prerequisite for the success of your campaign and a sustainable reduction in environmental pollution caused by cigarette littering.
… and this is how the taketray works:
The taketray meets all functional requirements for the first time:
