Export to Israel - 1

July 21st, 2009 at 07:04pm Bob Trojan

I attended an interesting program this afternoon sponsored by the Rockford Area Economic Development Council.  It was an Inward Mission from Israel and Uriel Lynn,  President, of the Israel Federation of Chambers of Commerce, Tel Aviv was the keynote speaker.  Manufacturing companies, such as mine, were given an opportunity to give a 5 minute pitch about our company and why we’d like to export to Israel.

What interested me in Mr. Lynn’s talk was how he stated, several times, that Israel welcomed IMPORTS from the US (and other countries)!

Why, you  might ask, would he say this?

Well, in his (and his government’s view) imports make their local manufacturers more competitive by competing with world class companies.  Also, they are looking for the lowest prices, and imports would keep pricing at the lowest level.

Now, I found that interesting…how about you?

I’ll post a few more insights into this market later.
