EUROLATINA is not operated by consultants but by entrepreneurs. This stands for the highest possible practical relevance. Their clients do not want theories, but quick, tangible and sustainable results. That is what makes EUROLATINA a perfect fit with Expandeers, as we also offer pragmatic support for expanding internationally. In 2019, EUROLATINA celebrated its 25th foundation anniversary. The company was initially a sheer consulting firm, founded by Karlheinz K. Naumann, the former managing partner of a subsidiary of an international management consultancy in São Paulo, headquartered in Germany.  Since 1994, EUROLATINA has been helping predominantly German and Austrian companies to do business in Brazil.

It has been an exciting year for us at Expandeers: Many new associates and strategic partners have joined us, offering many new options to our clients to access further countries: Amongst others, we now are (more) present in Turkey, Russia, Iran, Morocco, Spain, Colombia, Peru, Mexico and UAE to mention some of them.  We expanded our own enterprise by founding our subsidiary Expandeers (SoutheastAsia) PLT in Kuala Lumpur and took up the representation for the BVMW (Association of German SME) in Malaysia. For them we also held some Entrepreneurs' Days (of many to come) in Germany and had our annual German Malaysian Round Table (GMRT) in Hamburg.  Also, for stressing out the importance of Russia, Expandeers hosted the German Russian Roundtable (DRRT).

We held our annual Global Partners Convention in Dubai and also expand our own operations in UAE now. Next year, we'll connect Asia and Europe and will probably meet in between. Keep you posted.

And of course, we took over many new exciting projects this year ranging from gear technology, flow control devices, packaging, mobile phone recovery to mobile Apps (e-learning and mobility), POS software, ERP programs, digital consulting, and artificial intelligence in many application fields .... 

We would like to thank all of our clients, our partners worldwide, our employees and potential customers in 2020 (!) for an amazing year 2019 with exciting new situations, questions asked, solutions being found and growth being achieved! We wish all of you a healthy, prosperous and successful year 2020 - with or without us.

On December 4th/2019 over 20 participants followed our invitation to join the 3rd German-Malaysian Roundtable (GMRT) in Hamburg. Again, the venues of Rödl+Partner formed a great surrounding for this event.

This time, ASEAN as a whole and especially the role of Malaysia as a hub and gateway to the ASEAN market stood in focus of presentations and discussions. The Southeast Asian community ASEAN (Association of South East Asian Nations) is becoming increasingly important for European companies as a regional alternative or an addition to China and India. ASEAN has now concluded several free trade agreements, including with China and India. The EU is currently negotiating bilateral agreements with individual member states.

What a great experience: This years' Global Partners Meeting of Expandeers took place in in Dubai for four full days. Over 25 partners from more than 12 nations gathered in Dubai, discussing options, opportunities, new strategies, Expandeers growth path, new ideas and business models. This year, focus was on sustainability. Making crude oil efficiently from recycled plastic (Thailand), recovering mobile phones after water contact (Mexico) that reduces electronic waste, Freshpacks that preserve food more effectively and thus reducing food waste and plastic usage (Mexico), a Laser technology for measuring profiles of tires so they last longer and take less time to check are just few of the opportunities. These were presented, discussed and planned for global market entrance. The two day workshop was also offering many 1:1 exchanges about bilateral import/export from and to around the world. 

Dear Friends of GMRT, 

sehr geehrte Damen und Herren,

es ist uns eine große Freude und Ehre, Sie zum 3. Hamburger German Malaysian Round Table (GMRT) am Mittwoch, den 4. Dezember 2019 um 14:00 Uhr, bei der Rödl Rechtsanwaltsgesellschaft Steuerberatungsgesellschaft mbH, Kehrwieder 9, 20457 Hamburg, einladen zu dürfen. 

“Which country is the most attractive market for my expansion in Latin America?” -

“What is the best strategy to enter and conquer this market?” -

“How do I find the right partner to support my business in Latin America?” -

“What are the costs and risks involved in our market entry and how can we control them?” - 

"We want to stress out the economic importance of Russia". As we said on our German-Russian Roundtable in June this year, we now let action follow: Expandeers is very pleased to welcome our new partner for Russia and adjacent countries. Olga is another expert for Russia with over 10 years of practical experience as a managing director of a German company in St. Petersburg. Rely on her expertise regarding all affairs of Russian business: sales, marketing, import and export, corporate management and leadership.

Her places of residence are in Russia and Germany and she has of course an excellent knowledge of the Russian, German and English language. Please contact us for getting to know how we could support your business development activities from / to Russia and beyond.

We are very excited for that we will be holding our annual Global Partners Convention in UAE this year. From 14th until 17th of November, all EXPANDEERS members and strategic partners - this side along with spouses - are invited to join our meet-up in Dubai. 

In workshops and discussions we will evaluate new global opportunities for midsize companies from all over the world.
