Testimonial from Сustomer
Situation (Challenge)
Until 1998, the company had one of the largest local construction companies as a reseller of its products. At the time of the Asian crisis, the company completed all activities in Indonesia. The brand name was still known, but because of the past for many construction companies and subcontractors, the company was still associated with the old reseller. During the long absence on the market, the largest European competitor had established itself and established a dominant nationwide sales organization, including a strong engineering and assembly team.

Within two years, achieved a sales volume of USD 2.0 million.
