It has become increasingly obvious
to us that there are two excellent areas for UK companies who want to
consider the Baltic States:

Outsourcing: We have seen a marked increase in outsourcing from the UK to
the Baltic over the past 12 months.  This seems to be driven by companies
looking to move production from Asia to closer to home.  The reasons are
high quality, flexibility, speed, lower minimum orders and of course an
increasingly competitive price.  We are able to help UK companies find the
right outsource partner through our knowledge of the local market and
companies.

Sales: Though the markets themselves are not big they offer an excellent
route into the Russian and CIS markets.  UK companies find it extremely
difficult to access the Russian markets for a whole range of reasons, and we
are currently helping a number partner with Lithuanian companies who already
have distribution, to market the UK products to Russian wholesalers.  Based
on the success that this route has had we will be running a series of
workshops in the Autumn in association with LATIA, where UK companies can
come to Vilnius to meet with a group of Lithuanian companies, and also a
number of Russian wholesalers.

If you would like further information on either of the opportunities above,
or would like to find out how we may be able to help you then please email anastasia@ccbaltic.eu
