In today's episode, we are pleased to talk with Claas von Zombory, from IMEXORY, importer of Chilean Pisco “Mal Paso” in Germany. Although it has not been an easy process,  there are opportunities in this market of more than 80 million inhabitants.

As Claas pointed out “the fact that hardly no one knows Pisco in Germany gives us a chance to enter the market. It is important to achieve a good match between the producer and the importer and to know well where you want to sell it and how. Some of the biggest challenges is to build the brand and educate germans, get them know how is Pisco and how to drink it”.

Su ubicación estratégica en el centro de Europa, transforma a Austria en un puente a Europa del Este y un centro de operaciones privilegiado para acceder a otros mercados como Alemania, Suiza e Italia. Una economía fuerte con un producto interno bruto per cápita que se eleva a uno de los más altos de Europa con €44.900 y que se orienta principalmente a las exportaciones. 6 de cada 10 euros se generan a través de las exportaciones y uno de cada dos trabajos depende éstas. Las exportaciones son la columna vertebral de la economía austriaca y su confiable motor gracias a la alta inversión en innovación.
