Innovation through design is key to the Israeli kitchenware manufacturer

bramli The world according to Bramli

Bramli is a leading Israeli manufacturer of plastic kitchenware and houseware renowned for its fun, functional trendsetting designs. Over the past decade the company heavily invested in design and global brand development. Today Bramli’s fun and functional products are highly visible in renowned do-it-yourself stores and department stores such as Target across the world. Since its inception Bramli has been making a statement on the homeware design scene with its plastic homeware solutions. Taking the plastic medium to new levels, Bramli has dared to explore new directions with surprising results.

Bramli’s mission was to deliver innovative designer homeware at affordable prices that bring fun, joy and functionality to as many households as possible.

By 2000 the company began to manufacture eye-catching houseware that were impulse buys on one hand and great value for money on the other. Soon after Bramli lines were decking department stores with funky products, each with its own personality.

Today Bramli products are practical and appealing; their tactile surfaces, vibrant colors, collection concepts and fashionable forms consort with functional value.

But until over a decade ago, its mother company - Bram companies manufactured traditional plastic ware. In 1999 its founder Eli Bramli wanted to create a new global venture that developed brand conscious, trend setting homeware at affordable prices.

How did Bramli become a global success story? Bramli’s founder attributes the company’s success to the creative spirit of the company’s young team combined with a group of skilled experts with over 30 years of manufacturing experience.

Today the company produces three main lines segmented by functionality, each characterized by its own story, personality and appeal. Bramli has recently invested energies and finances into an international logistics operation. To streamline operations, the company purchased a manufacturing and logistics plant in France last year and plans to duplicate the process in the States.

As for 2008 and onwards – Bramli is looking to expand its ranges beyond the kitchen into the kids rooms, the garden and more.

PeerApp - unclogging the Video Internet traffic

 PeerApp

Its rush hour on the Internet and traffic is looking bad. Yet again the routes are jammed until the loading clog up clears… But wait, help is on the way and it seems to be coming from Herzelia based PeerApp.

PeerApp is a technology innovator and leading provider of solutions that helps Internet Service Providers (ISPs) manage P2P (peer to Peer) and HTTP video traffic. The outcome – traffic flows more smoothly and customers can download video files more quickly. What’s more video quality is boosted, bandwidth costs are reduced and digital rights are preserved – so even content owner’s needs are addressed.

Today, with over 100 million active P2P users, PeerApp is well poised to help transform video on the Internet. Already today millions of broadband subscribers around the world receive high-quality video and other digital media through PeerApp systems.

The huge potential was recognized by Red Herring who recently awarded PeerApp with an honored position on its 2008 winners list. PeerApp CEO and Chairman Robert Mayer in response said the award is an honor as it recognizes the company’s role in helping to spearhead a robust platform for delivering multimedia content.

PeerApp technology, he claims, enables ISPs to provide video and other multimedia to consumers with a great customer experience without investing in expensive network upgrades. So it seems the key video Internet value chain players; the ISPs, the content providers and the consumers all have something to sing about.

PeerApp’s success can largely be attributed to their new patented P2P caching and acceleration technology. Ultraband enables ISPs to take the heavy burden of downloading pages off their network and onto a video cache server which operates very much like a traditional Web cache server.
Instead of making direct connections to servers across the globe to download pages, web browsers fetch cached copies of updated web pages from third-party cache servers. Cache servers provide the same services as the direct server, but help reduce network traffic and speed up users’ Internet connections. This way, traffic flows more smoothly and customers are able to download video files more quickly. According to the company’s CFO Yossi Hazan a file that usually takes over six hours to download to your PC will arrive in six minutes - a factor of 60 times faster.
Phew, it’s good to know the coast is clearing especially when it comes to watching my Heroes episodes with almost zero network interference.
