Our journey into the Middle East market was made possible through the invaluable support of François-Xavier Depireux and the LD Export team. François-Xavier played a pivotal role in helping us navigate the complexities of expanding our international presence. Together, we crafted a strategic roadmap to approach this promising market, with LD Export's expertise proving crucial in identifying potential customers.

After a few months, our efforts materialized into a comprehensive understanding of the market potential and the identification of a list of compelling distributors. This list, validated in collaboration with the UniversDrink team, drew from LD Export's extensive network. Following this, LD Export conducted visits to the distributors, meticulously narrowing down the selection to 3 high-profile distributors with interest in our range of products.

Through continuous communication and multiple meetings with my team, LD Export helped us successfully appointing an official distributor who is now actively involved in the distribution of our products in the market.

I want to extend my thanks to LD EXPORT for the job and expresses my happiness in having a solid distributor with branches in 25 other countries. The mission was a success, LD EXPORT delivered on its promises. Lire tout

I had the pleasure of meeting Francois-Xavier Depireux from LD Export during a VOKA seminar in Belgium where he was keynote speaker. Our company is already active in Kuwait and the UAE, so expanding into the Saudi Arabian market seemed like the logical next step. Francois-Xavier and his team conducted a thorough and insightful study of the KSA market. Throughout our collaboration, the communication with LD-Export has been consistently clear and focused. Mat's expertise and knowledge have been invaluable in arranging company visits in KSA. LD-Export has proven to be reliable, professional, and an absolute delight to work with.

The Middle East market has always been a target for our company, but we didn't know how to approach it correctly.

Egg is an independent international event agency ; In order to accompany our growth in the middle east region, our Bank and adviser, BNP Paribas put us in contact with LD-Export. François-Xavier and his team rapidly understood who we were and what were our main USP in order to match with the expectations of the local Market (KSA & Bahrain). Few weeks later we had a chance to participate to a dedicated Taylor made sales blitz carefully prepared by LD-Export ; out of the 6 companies we met, 100% were convinced that the services of Egg could be useful for them ; 3 even promised to consider Egg for their scheduled upcoming events. Few weeks after the sales blitz we received already 2 very interesting RFP (tenders). Even if we did not win the competition with this 2 first tenders, LD-Export has done the perfect selection and advise for us. We know that Egg might have a place of choice in the market. We definitely will rely on LD-Export for further actions in the coming months to accelerate our development in the region. Lire tout

As a leading European manufacturer of recycled plastic profiles and finished products, with export to some 30 countries, we were looking for new business opportunities. One of the markets we were interested in was the UAE. We came in contact with LD export and had several meetings with François-Xavier and his team to explain about our business and to decide about the way to go. We were impressed by their professionalism and knowledge of the the Middle-East market, as well as their commitment to our case. After an in-depth market study, we decided to continue with a second phase. LD Export works as if they are part of your company and their market information is very up-to-date. Their global approach, in mutual consultation, ends up in a very well prepared business trip. Contacts and meetings were arranged by Mat, as well as hotel bookings and transportation on site. Two weeks ago, we had a very effective 4-days business trip to Dubai and Abu Dhabi. Together with the LD EXPORT team, we had 12 meetings with key players in the market. It was all very well organized, they took care about everything. We now understand very well the market expectations and opportunities. Thanks to LD Export, we are quite confident that some of the contacts will lead to future business relationships. We strongly recommend LD Export as your partner for exploring the Middle-East market. Without their expertise and professionalism, it would have costs us infinite time and money to obtain the same result. Lire tout
