After 12 years of collaboration, the 2 trade associations have created Rete Ufficio Estero, a legal entity committed to supporting hundreds of companies in the development of their activities on international markets. This is historic news, as stated by the presidents of the two associations Daniele Riva (Federation of Artisans and Craftsmen of the Province Lecco) and Luigi Sabadini (Association of Small and Medium Enterprises of the Province Lecco).
Born in 2008, our Export Office has assisted about 150 companies, developing for each of them a "tailor-made" service aimed at finding and developing customers and business partners abroad. Rete Ufficio Estero is led by Angelo Crippa (Export Manager) and consists of 7 people who develop potential contacts in 8 languages (Italian, French, English, Spanish, German, Russian, Romanian and Moldavian). In addition to research and development, Rete Ufficio Estero offers other services and support solutions such as the organization of trade fairs and missions abroad, translation and interpreting, legal and customs consulting, e-commerce strategy, social media marketing and digital marketing solutions.
The sectors in which Rete Ufficio Estero operates most are engineering (58%), furniture (19%) and plastics (12%). Sixty percent of the work is aimed at Europe, 15% at Russia, 15% at North Africa and 5% at the USA, Canada and Arab countries.
