WHY USE "TCH Services"?
I
have worked in the footwear and leather business for over 20 years and
my knowledge of Polish industries and their realities is second to none.Because
of a strong background in the leather industry in administration, marketing
(local and international), manufacturing, international finance, importing
and exporting, and communication, I have built a strong, healthy organisation
that can fill many existing needs.
While
I primarily focus on the leather industry, I have such broad knowledge
of my country's business culture that I do not totally limit myself
to the leather industry. Many business people therefore confidently
use my services for their particular industries.
I
worked for many years for SKORIMPEX Foreign Trade Company of Footwear
and Leather Industry in Lodz, at that time the biggest organisation
in Poland, in the footwear and leather sectors. I also worked over 5
years in England as a manager at Import-Export Company Skorimpex Rind
Ltd.
I
was also employed as commercial director at Chemiskór S.A., the premier
Polish company in the leather sector, until its recent purchase.

and articles for the Leather Trade Journal "Przeglad Skorzany", the Polish
monthly dedicated to footwear and leather businessmen in Poland. I

consultant for the Polish Chamber of Shoe and Leather Industry in Lodz.

FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions
|
|
| |
|
-
I have already a list of the largest Polish tanneries provided
by the Polish Embassy and I intend to visit them shortly. Why
do I need you?
If you are
an overseas customer you will probably have to stay in Poland,
say, for 2 weeks. All expenses (flight, hotels, transport in
Poland, interpreter etc.) would cost you at least $ 4,000 -
$5,000. Even spending that amount of money does not guarantee
that you chose your contacts properly and that you will succeed.
Save your money: let me prepare the groundwork for you. Once
I know your business and your expectations I will prepare everything
you need. Then it will be time to come. Everything will be ready
for your final approval.
-
How can you serve many people from various industries at one time?
I look after every customer personally - this is the rule. I will
schedule so there is little or no overlap. In the unlikely event
I cannot assist someone individually, one of my trusted partners
will do that (on my behalf). As a further backup, I also provide
a list of carefully selected organisations, contacts and competent
professionals.
-
I am considering
placing a substantial order with a reliable footwear manufacturer
in Poland. Will you be able to assist?
Yes. I will contact you with the leading Polish shoe manufacturers
that have strong export experience. On your behalf, I can prepare
a contract, report to you on production progress, and ensure the
contract is fulfilled on time. If requested, a sub-contracted,
independent inspector can provide 100% quality control before
shipment.
-
I would like
you to look after my business in Poland on an exclusivity basis.
Is this possible?
The fundamental idea of my business is to provide personal, individual
assistance. If you would need me for your business only, I shall
be pleased to do so. Under such circumstances we shall need an
exclusivity agreement, and I will not enter into any similar activities
with other foreign customers, if you wish so (here the rule:
"First come, first served" applies). However, I shall still
be able to provide a friendly (but non-competitive) service to
others - there are many footwear production capacities at numerous
factories in Poland. If you come from Germany or UK, I have my
partners and colleagues there and they will contact you directly.
If you wish, they can act as your agent and I will look after
your business in Poland (you will not be charged twice for that
service).
-
I produce
tanning chemicals and I would like to export them to Poland and
possibly to Russia and CIS states. Will you help me and how much
will it cost?
With pleasure. Please provide me with all possible
information: product range and description, technical parameters,
prices, delivery terms and conditions etc. I will check your offer
with competent professionals and companies here. Then I will provide
you with a short, comprehensive report. And I do that at no cost.
-
I am interested
in hides and pigskins. I would like to buy them from Poland or
former CIS countries.How can you help me?
Poland is an importer as well as exporter of hides
and skins. If you want to buy from this country, please specify
if you need raw material, wet blue, crust or finished leather.
Kindly provide me with required parameters (weight, size, etc)
and your quality requirements. My partners deal in all aspects
of hides and skins from raw to finished leather (both domestic
and imported).
-
What will happen if somebody
breaks the contract and uses you only as a 'first-time contact'
and then, for instance, starts trading directly with a Polish
company?
I trust people and I expect them to reciprocate. Breach of a contract
is a serious offence and causes unnecessary complication (not
necessarily immediate court action). The leather and footwear
world is rather small, and bad news generally spreads much faster
than good news. I know that also as a journalist. On the other
hand, even if a conflict arises, an amicable solution can be found
(if both parties are willing to do so).
-
It looks like you guarantee
100% success from every contact people make with you. Is this
so?
Unfortunately, I cannot guarantee that! The
Polish leather and footwear sectors are slowly recovering from
crises and no immediate, spectacular effects can be expected.
Hard work will be required from me as well as from my foreign
counterpart.
However, Poland, with its 40 million population is an emerging
market and is a huge potential outlet. It is also a gateway to
Russia and CIS states. If you are thinking of a long-term, successful
business opportunity - this may be a perfect place for you.
And I am here to help you to succeed.
