Market Entry
Enter Ireland or the UK with a clearer commercial route.
JAKOB supports European HVAC manufacturers that need to understand the market, identify the right channel and start commercial conversations with suitable local partners.
Market entry is usually a commercial problem before it is an operational one.
Manufacturers often have proven products but limited local knowledge: which distributors are appropriate, how existing competitors reach specifiers and contractors, which agents can open doors, and what level of support the market expects.
