Canadian goods come to the market with a reputation for quality and Canadian companies are respected as conducting business professionally and with integrity.<\/p>\n<p>In the next two decades, Asia&#8217;s middle class is expected to exceed over 1.5 billion people with a high demand for consumer goods and massive investment injected into their infrastructure to accommodate for social reforms in health care, education and environmental standards.<\/p>\n<p>China as an example is one of Canada&#8217;s primary trading partners but Chinese-Canadian trade fulfills less than 15% of US-Canadian trade. There is, therefore, ample room for Canadian companies to manoeuvre towards the Asian markets and develop a solid business foundation in markets that have huge growth potential.<br \/>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"one_half last\">\n<p>Canada Asia Connection has a core understanding of the anatomy of Asian Business Models.

North America became a substantial export market in the last two years and more recently African and Middle East Markets have been added.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How to Penetrate Asia<\/strong><br \/>\nCataclean had made some ad hoc attempts to penetrate the Asian market. The lack of sharp end marketing and sales capability on the ground to identify and vet suitable distributors, to then work with them to build brand identity and new sales channels had meant that despite having excellent products they had not established a foothold.<\/p>\n<p>In early 2013 Cataclean approached UK Asia Connection to represent them in Asia and provide the on-the-ground platform they were missing. We then worked closely together to identify what the opportunities were for Cataclean in Asia and the best plan of attack.<\/p>\n[\/spb_text_block] [spb_text_block pb_margin_bottom=&#8221;no&#8221; pb_border_bottom=&#8221;no&#8221; width=&#8221;1\/4&#8243;]\n<p><strong>A new market segment<\/strong><br \/>\nCataclean has built its reputation with cars and its primary sales channel in the UK and North America is Motor factors and Vehicle Service Centres. There are a number of competing products in this space. In Asia it was identified that the industrial sector<br \/>\nwas a particularly good entry target because vehicle fleet owners are acutely sensitive to fuel costs and are under increasing regulatory pressure to control emissions.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Gaining a Foothold<\/strong><br \/>\nCataclean was able to secure a full scale trial with a major industrial client in Hong Kong running a fleet of several hundred vehicles as well as other machinery that would benefit from Cataclean. A nine month trial started in October 2013 managed by UKAC with vigorous monitoring of before and after application fuel consumption and emissions.<\/p>\n<p>The trial was an outstanding success and after presentation of the results the industrial concern has now ordered substantive amounts of Cataclean for two new pieces of equipment on which it will run a second round of trials before deploying in its worldwide facilities assuming Cataclean continues to demonstrate the impact it did in the first trial.<\/p>\n[\/spb_text_block] [spb_text_block pb_margin_bottom=&#8221;no&#8221; pb_border_bottom=&#8221;no&#8221; width=&#8221;1\/4&#8243; el_position=&#8221;last&#8221;]\n<p>UKAC&#8217;s role in ensuring the trial was properly supplied, the Cataclean product correctly applied and close coordination maintained with the client was critical in its success.<\/p>\n<p>Perhaps more significantly UKAC has been able to use this experience on the ground to contribute to Cataclean&#8217;s strategic thinking about how to develop a completely new product segment.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Results<\/strong><br \/>\nUsing the proven results from our first big industrial client in Asia, Cataclean is now marketing an industrial range of Cataclean in all its markets and is seeing great results.<\/p>\n<p>As Ross Baigent the owner of Cataclean indicated &#8220;Jeremy and his team have not only helped us to establish an invaluable platform in Asia but have also been a part of widening Cataclean&#8217;s vision on our product range world-wide.
