Barcelona Export manages export groups

An exporting group is composed of companies that belong to the same sector of activity, have complementary and non-concurrent products, and go to the same target market. Their respective products strengthen the joint offer and provide:

– more business opportunities
– Increased strength in negotiations

Export groups are led by the same consultant who prospects for several companies at the same time. From this fact several advantages arise, such as speed ​​and success of market penetration and synergies between companies to improve the entry of each of the products / services.

Barcelona Export regularly manages several export groups with high penetration results in different markets.
