Export To Italy - Case Studies

"We knew that northern Italy would be our best route into Europe as a lot of manufacturers there would require products such as ours. The two major obsticles we faced were the language and a lack of knowledge of our competitors in that market Copernicus helped us bridge the language barrier as well as providing us with thorough competitor analysis that now sees us with a firm foothold in the southern European market."

"We were well established as a producer of Organic Bread within the UK and wished to move into the Italian market. We asked copernicus to look into how we could best achieve this goal, if indeed it was achievable. Copernicus also helped us get a government grant, which we would never have imagined we were eligable for, to help fund the research. As a result of the research we now have our product in 150 outlets in Italy."
