I just realized that I haven't blogged in almost a year. I guess I've managed to hide in the shadows while the shifts have been divided :)
But now, read this!
Four of us (me, Tuire, Anne and Petteri) were at the A+A fair in Düsseldorf. We have been planning to set up our own stand for a long time, but the time has not felt right. However, over the past year, we have started to receive regular contacts from all over Europe, and so we finally decided to hold the German fair. Our small but impressive stand was erected in hall number 5.
It was a great experience. An incredible number of workwear suppliers and tens of thousands of trade fair visitors. We got to discuss the workwear markets of several European countries, but we also received information from, among others, Japan, Australia, Saudi Arabia, Canada and Brazil. The Finnish workwear market is doing well in the competition. We can proudly announce that we are among the top five in terms of development.
A big thank you to everyone who visited our stand! It was great that we also got to meet many Finnish acquaintances. Even though we are now a little tempted to try our wings, our main market is and will be Finland.
Four days of talking and chatting almost non-stop and evenings enjoyed the rainy weather of Düsseldorf. On the night between Friday and Saturday, there was a group of people laughing hysterically on the way home. Hair messy and legs screaming hooray, but the feeling is the best! Now to make offers!
