A few things we’re great at

We actively generate a collaborative environment between international and local professionals, in our attempt to bring in value for money to those with whom we cooperate. By putting at work our experience, as well as culturally and linguistically rich capabilities, we offer adapted services for our trusted partners:

International Sales Development International Distribution Strategy Country and Industry Reports Market prospecting surveys International Fairs and Exhibitions Advisory Services For Sound Investments In Natural / Forest Assets

There are many sound commercial reasons that support the decision of a company to expand beyond its local market. However, the process itself carries both risks and opportunities.

Understanding the cultural diversity, developing the right strategy and identifying the right countries and the potential partners, are all essential aspects in making the process successful.

Porini Log has a wide experience in enabling the transfer of technology and know-how, engaging in marketing, selling, organising live demos, participating as speakers in seminars and conferences, etc. in more than 30 countries worldwide. We help companies in their effort to grow internationally and access new markets.

By outsourcing the marketing and sales activities to our team in the phases of entering and establishing a meaningful presence on a new market, our clients benefit from reduced fixed costs incurred by having a full time employee, local offices and other related expenses.

We play a leading role in organising meetings and in the negotiation process, whenever necessary.

We enjoyed working with Daniel Paul Dima / Porini Log Oy in steering the Forest Romania 2019 live forest demo event, and also organising one of the most important debates on the role of forests and forestry for a sustainable bioeconomy. The knowledge brought in by Porini Log Oy helped us get committed local partners, an agenda of high interests for all relevant stakeholders, and last but not least, a successful 2019 edition of the fair. In addition, Paul Dima’s excellent international industry knowledge makes him a valuable advisor for us in the development of our forestry projects worldwide.
