best foriegn supply houses

[old dude]

Greetings to all out there in arborial land--especially any from lands other than the good ole USA. A question for those of an international pedigree. What is the name of the top one or two tree equipment supply houses in your country?
You see, I have recently begun marketing an unusual tree tool that is currently featured in the Wesspur and Bailey's catalogs here in the US. Although sales have been good I would like to explore the potential of the international market but have no knowlege of just which tree supply houses are respected in countries like Germany,Spain, GB etc--etc--- Can any of you guys out there point me in the right direction? Any leads that pan out in a marketing relationship would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Whats the product? I could Email my Relatives in Trollhatten Sweden. They get a catalog I think it's called NIMA? All sorts of agricultural and forest products featured in it. I dunno my Swedish isn't as good as it used to be it's also been too long since I've been there, but we keep regular email.

How about a small discount on your product for arboristsite members!
I've been considering one, and a 'deal' would encourage me to buy now.

I too would like to know what your product is? I would even drive the hour to get on if it was good deal.

If i'm not mistaken his product is the 'Sidekick'

i have a crude version of that but it's not collapsable just a 8' long 1"x1" furring strip with a garage hook at one end. a telescoping one would be nice sometimes though.

Try talking to Greg Good of Good Rigging. He developed the GRCS. I think he still does small scale import/export work dealing with that and a few other products he brings into the US from europe.
