What skysupply does
Skysupply GmbH is a Munich-based, privately held B2B supplier that designs, develops and distributes inflight amenity kits, children's travel kits and co-branded onboard products for international commercial airlines. Founded circa 1998 and led by Managing Directors Andreas Lersch and Wolfgang Bücherl, the company supplies First, Business and Premium Economy cabin classes for carriers including Lufthansa, SWISS, Austrian Airlines, Condor, Finnair, Icelandair, TAP Air Portugal, Etihad, Emirates, Turkish Airlines, Air India, Thai Airways and Air Mauritius.
The company's core technology is industrial design and product engineering applied to sustainable materials (recycled polyester, bamboo, kraft paper, rPET, biodegradable TPU) and multi-functional formats (e.g., pouches that transform into packing cubes, cooler bags, beach bags). Its product portfolio is built around three lines — Amenity Kits, Children Kits, and Co-Branding — with the latter anchored by exclusive design partnerships with premium lifestyle brands such as Porsche Design, Marimekko, Benamôr, VIU, Victorinox, and institutional collaborators including MAK Vienna and artists Inga Elín and Sara Riel.
Skysupply monetizes through quote-based B2B sales contracts with airlines, supplemented by licensing/co-branding arrangements with partner brands. Distribution is exclusively direct-to-airline (no DTC or retail channel), and go-to-market relies on industry trade shows such as WTCE, award recognition (TravelPlus GOLD, Onboard Hospitality Awards) and direct sales relationships. The company has no disclosed funding, no parent entity, and no publicly reported financials, operating from a single headquarters location in Munich, Germany.
