Mr. Abderahmane Ouhbi, Export Manager at Ihne & Tesch GmbH, commented on the company's prospects in Russia.
- Ihne & Tesch exhibits regularly at Interplastica trade show. We pay much attention to the Russian market as we see high demand for our products. Russian plastics processing market is huge. We believe we can win many new customers here.
I have discovered some special features about Russian mentality. Russian people are very well-educated and skilled. They are interested in technical issues. They understand the technical thinking of our company and they see the difference in product's quality even if they have to make a decision due to the price. They realize their choice. Sometimes Russian businessmen happen to prefer cheaper products. But cheap things can come very expensive. It is not about the price of spare parts in case of machine failure, but about the cost of downtime. And we see now it has become more and more popular in Russia to buy high-quality product. We have come to Interplastica to meet existing customers and new clients and also make our brand more popular in Russia.
Our brand is well known in European countries. Since 1932 our competence has been high-grade electrical heating products for all industry sectors, where heat is part of the production. There are numerous applications, where our electrical heating elements are in operation. Our extensive product range of temperature sensors, controllers as well as ovens make our programme of delivery complete.
Ihne & Tesch is a German-based company with 3 facilities in Germany, 1 in Austria, 1 in France and also a sales office in the UK. As a global wide company we have distributors and representatives all over the world, including North America, Asia and Russia.
