An environment of increasing commodity and energy costs meets a consumer sentiment generally coined by high living costs. A reticence to buy is the result. Parallel to that, due to massive changes in the retail market, as well as the increasingly stronger international competition, especially from Asia, i.e. increasing globalization and a weak US dollar, the situation in this industry sector is very complex and coined by occasional incalculable influences. Manufacturers as well as retailers try to meet this market situation by expanding their business abroad. In the European, particularly Eastern European, neighboring countries, but also beyond Europe, there's still further chance potential for German manufacturers and retailers. That's why more than ever technically competent and, above all, internationally minded managers and specialists with strong leadership qualities are in demand in these sectors. To find the "best" here fore, to recognize them and especially to win them over is not a question of chance, but demands a precise knowledge of the sector, a lot of experience and good contacts and connections within these particular markets. That is what Ising International Consulting disposes of from a large number of successfully concluded projects in the consumer and durable goods industry.     Your contacts in Germany are:   Edgar van Mark > curriculum
