GRANDER Summer Workshop for Export Partners in Strasbourg

Following the international Christmas meeting at the headquarters in Jochberg, Tyrol, which was attended by numerous representatives, GRANDER hosted a summer workshop in Strasbourg in June. A central geographical location for all European partners and the business location of the French GRANDER partners, Strasbourg was the ideal venue for the two-day workshop.

Such meetings are regularly organized in Jochberg, Tyrol, as well as the partners’ various home countries. In addition to training sessions, all partners in the GRANDER network can get to know each other more closely, share their professional insights, and not least have stimulating discussions about the nature of water.
The first day was devoted to sales and marketing topics. Alexander Gerschbacher, head of exports at GRANDER, discussed the development of the markets, and Karin Wagner of the marketing department presented a new sales folder and gave an overview of the company’s online activities. Yasmin Hochfilzer and Heidemarie Grander of the exports team highlighted the need of making the GRANDER brand visible in all markets and offered various tools to this end to the attending partners. The first day was finally concluded with presentations by the French, Swiss, and Spanish GRANDER partners, outlining how they serve the markets in these countries and which reference projects had been realized there in the recent past. The presentations proved very interesting to all participants and were not short on valuable advice and guidance either.

A boat trip through and around Strasbourg invited all partners to relax after a day of learning and reflect on and discuss the topics of the day in a laid-back setting. On the workshop’s second day, the products took center stage. Johannes Larch, head of research and development, presented GRANDER’s focus segments and further background information.

The two days offered a host of revitalizing conversations to all participants, who also took home plenty of new knowledge. The GRANDER exports team would like to thank all partners for making the workshop a great success and is already looking forward to the next international meeting
