Basque Trade & Investment invites you to participate in the day The US Machine Tool Market: Forecast and Opportunities, organized in collaboration with AFM Cluster, AMT (The Association for Manufacturing Technologies) and BEC.

 

United States It is a well-known and prominent market for Basque companies, where solutions and equipment are sold through commercial agreements with agents and distributors, or through their own branches. Its economy is solid and currently experiencing growth. Therefore, it offers sales opportunities in sectors that demand quality and where price is not the deciding factor. However, in some cases, the United States has been approached more as a single country or market than as a collection of geographically distant states or markets, which has prevented companies from fully leveraging its purchasing potential.

 

During the last few exercises, multiple Basque companies have updated their interpretation of what it means to address the US markets and have rethought their sales strategy, or have started processes of renewal of their commercial network.

 

During the event, leading speakers from the Machine Tool industry will inform us about the current and future situation of the sector in the United States and share their knowledge and experience on different commercial strategies to obtain the best sales results.

 

Objective:

To report on the current and future situation of the sector in the USA and to provide knowledge and experience in the different commercial strategies to address it, delving into the advantages and disadvantages of each of them.

Aimed at:

Basque company in the Machine Tool sector with activity or interest in the USA.
