What Trade Agency Jean-Pierre Gehbauer does

Trade Agency Jean-Pierre Gehbauer (Handelsagentur Jean-Pierre Gehbauer) is a Swiss sole proprietorship based in Bettlach, Solothurn, that sells presentation and sales promotion articles made from acrylic, metal, and wood. Its product range spans advertising carriers (Werbeträger), menu card holders (Menükartenhalter), brochure stands (Prospektständer), table stands (Tischsteller), display cases/vitrines (Vitrinen), protective cover caps/hoods (Abdeckhauben), decorative stairs (Dekotreppen) used for collectibles, and general point-of-sale displays. The company explicitly names no proprietary technology and operates without software, APIs, or digital product surfaces.

The business targets resellers, bulk buyers, and end-user collectors across at least five verticals: retail boutiques, gastronomy/hospitality, museums, schools, and specialty collectors in model railways, automobiles, aircraft, and minerals. The go-to-market motion is sales-led and high-touch: customers visit the company's sample room (Musterzimmer) at Alpenweg 18a in Bettlach by appointment, Monday through Friday, for personalized consultation and physical product inspection. The company maintains a German-language website (jp-gehbauer.ch) with a downloadable PDF catalog, and is listed on Swiss local directories (local.ch, search.ch), but operates no e-commerce or online ordering channel.

Revenue is generated through one-time product sales with quote-based pricing; no pricing, contract, or revenue figures are publicly disclosed. The firm is privately held by Jean-Pierre Gehbauer with no parent company, no subsidiaries, no disclosed funding, no partnerships, no M&A activity, and a management team consisting solely of the owner. Operating geography is limited to Switzerland, with a single headquarters location and no global footprint claims.
