All our customers are being served from our central office and warehouse in Tilburg and we deliver shipments throughout Europe (biggest part in BNL and Germany). 

Our goal:

We would like to expand our awareness, lead-generation and sales in foreign markets and besides our current acquisition-process we are looking for other efficient ways and local networks to achieve this in the local foreign markets. The set-up of a Trade Agency is one of the options that we consider and investigate now. Our main purpose is now to find out what the best approach is to get connected and find the possible candidates and networks to find possible Trade Agents in the foreign markets.

Besides that our assumption is that we only consider a Trade Agency in case we could find candidates with the right experience and network in our business/product/customer-markets.

Candidate profile:
