Meaco dehumidifiers are available across the whole of Europe and in South Africa and I thought that it was about time that we introduced them all via the Meaco blog, so, for no other reason than the fact that they emailed me today, we will start with Switzerland.
Our distributor in Switzerland is Ecofort who have two websites www.ecofort.ch and www.meaco.ch. The company is run by Robert Aeschbacher Mark Tugendlieb and like ourselves they specialise in dehumidifiers which gives us confidence that they will be giving Meaco customers the correct advice and they will be able to look after customers should they experience any issues.
Robert and Mark have a huge amount of energy which is infectious which makes them a pleasure to work with I always enjoy our meetings (the fact that this means travelling to beautiful Switzerland might have something to do with that!).
Ecofort are based in the small town of Nidau which is a pretty lakeside location in the centre of Switzerland just outside of Biel.
Ecofort have a fantastic showroom, the largest that I have ever come across. It is actually an old restaurant, so it is probably the only dehumidifier showroom with it’s own bar in the middle!
The Meaco DD8L and the Meaco 20L have gone down very well in Switzerland and I know that the boys are delighted with how the sales have increased so sharply and we have exciting plans to build on that in the second half of 2012. Ecofort are already very good at digital communications and their website is full of images and videos and they have all of the angles on Google covered. We will concentrate more with them on the traditional media and ways of getting our message across in Switzerland to the sort of people who us dehumidifiers on a daily basis. For example caravan owners, classic car enthusiasts, boat owners and people living in apartments. As well as this we will look at more traditional Swiss applications like drying clothes after a day’s outdoors activity, skiing for example.
During my last visit Robert interviewed me, the reseult has created much amusement in the Meaco office, you can see for yourselves below.
I can see Ecofort and Meaco working successfully together for many years to come, which is fine by me because that will mean many more trips to Nidau for pizza overlooking the lake!
