Profile (strategy) of this buyer for a spare parts distributor

The buyer is a company existing since the 1990s on the market of spare parts and accessories for trucks, trailers, and trailers. Marginally, the company also deals with other kinds of vehicles including agricultural machinery, forklifts, and others.

• trucks

Geographically, the company is looking at countries where they already are strong - Spain, Italy, UK.
