Substanz Team GmbH Reviews 

Personal, expert, and generous with knowledge

What a pleasure to work with someone who truly understands both the materials and the maker. Thanks to her own background in research and entrepreneurship, her advice is spot on: she thinks along with you about what works for your product, your production, and your story, and that makes all the difference.

The service is personal, careful, and thorough. You can tell she genuinely cares that you end up with something you can actually move forward with. She shares her insights generously, and they're practical and immediately applicable. Her innovative bag materials are a great find, but the knowledge and commitment behind them are what make it complete.

A must-try for any maker looking for special, well-considered materials and a sparring partner who helps you move forward.

Anastasia was very helpful and knowledgeable guiding me through her range of fabrics, the time and effort she gave, despite it only being a small order for a research project was incredible. I would recommend Substanz to anyone, industry or student, and will be coming back to her for all of my Bio material!

I first met Anastasia a couple of months ago through a mutual client, and we’ve stayed in touch ever since. We recently started exploring the possibility of collaborating on other projects, and I’m excited to see where this goes. Anastasia is highly competent in her field and has a deep knowledge of innovative materials. She is also open, generous, and very easy to collaborate with.

I work with Substanz as my European material distributor and her product knowledge is nearly unmatched in this space. She truly understands the needs of brands and how to translate their visions into concrete projects. From logistics to creative design her expertise are a phenomenal asset and I genuinely love working with Anastasia.

My brand engaged Substanz about a year ago for sourcing and COO support, helping us with supply chain management, B2B buyer data analysis, and communications. We have continued our partnership ever since.
Anastasia is highly detail-oriented and committed to her work. She respects the brand’s vision and focuses on facilitating key business operations rather than imposing her own ideas.
We look forward to continuing our collaboration and would highly recommend Substanz to anyone looking for professional support with brand operations.

I worked with Anastasia from Substanz on an Orange Fiber product development project as a designer and illustrator. Anastasia demonstrated in-depth knowledge of the innovative materials landscape and a strong understanding of material properties and applications. She provided clear and valuable guidance on the most suitable approaches to design and printing when working with Orange Fiber.
All financial obligations were met fully and on time.
I would highly recommend working with Substanz. It is one of the very few European consultancies with genuine expertise in innovative materials and their real-world applications.

I had a chance to work with Anastasia on a project linked to SEO promotion of Substanz platform. She showed hogh level of involvement, commitment and financial discipline

We’ve been working with Anastasia and Substanz throughout the development of our brand and her support has been incredibly valuable. Anastasia is one of the few people we’ve met who truly understands the bio-based materials space beyond the surface.. From sourcing and material development to design, production and manufacturers, she understands the entire ecosystem and how all these parts actually connect in practice. She knows the materials, their potential and limitations, but also the people and companies behind them, and has helped us navigate this world at every stage of our project! Substanz is the real reference in this space, bridging emerging materials with actual products and production. Very rare expertise and honestly invaluable for us 🙏🙏

Great selection of innovative bio-based and vegan materials that are difficult to find elsewhere.

The materials arrived quickly and were safely packaged, and the customer service was excellent. Anastasia was exceptionally helpful and responsive, answered my questions thoroughly, and was happy to provide additional information about the materials and their applications.

A fantastic source for anyone looking to explore more sustainable material alternatives.
