Ascor Chimici Trade Visit to New Zealand

The Italian Chamber of Commerce in New Zealand was asked by ICCNZ member Ascor Chimici, a large Italian Company that operates in the area of Animal Health and Nutrition, to help them find a distributor in New Zealand.

The founder and owner, Sig Valentini, and Sig Pandolfini, their international marketing manager, were in the country from 15 to 23 October. Together with ICCNZ President Mario Leonti they met with several major players in the NZ market selected for them by ICCNZ: Chemiplas, Ethical Agents, NRM, Stockguard, Agrifeeds and Animal Health Centre in Wellington, Auckland, Hamilton and Morrinsville. Their mission was very well received and New Zealand companies are placing orders right now.

Ascor Chimici is planning a yearly presence at Fieldays from 2008. Upon their return to Italy, Sig. Valentini, Sig Pandolfini, Director Dall'ara and Scientific Coordinator Cavassini of Ascor Chimici, met with ICCNZ consultant Dr Luca De Leonardis to discuss possibilities of bilateral trade between Italian and New Zealand companies that will enhance the visibility of ICCNZ in Italy.
