Rifton Equipment Meets Prospective Partners Virtually and Appoints Distributor in Turkey

Adaptive equipment manufacturer Rifton Equipment often relies on Michael Grossman of U.S. Commercial Service (CS) Westchester, NY for market intel on foreign markets and ways to find buyers and partners around the world. In 2019, Michael brought a colleague from CS Istanbul for a visit to Rifton, and the company realized the lucrative possibilities of the Turkish market. Rifton then used the CS’s “International Partner Search,” a thorough, customized way of finding interested and appropriate partners.

In 2020, virtual meetings were set up with the best candidate and Rifton appointed an exclusive, nationwide distributor in Turkey.

“The support from the U.S. Commercial Service that Rifton received during the process of identifying and naming a distributor for Turkey, was second to none. The service was well researched with a high level of professionalism resulting in the appointment of a highly respected company with offices in Ankara and a nationwide dealer network.” – Jörg Barth, Export Sales Manager, Rifton Equipment
