I did bot realise the langauge would be such a barrier.....oops cant speak a word of Italian... will have to learn.

As far as why I am looking for an Italian Distributor, is I have heard there prices are good if you can find the right Distributor.

i know in italy there are always expensive prices...maybe i don't see the right models

What type of goods specifically are you trying to source?

I have had some replies from other companies a few months ago, it is a case of keep trying, for instance I found the UK authorised distibutor for Nikon Camera and Xbox's, buy contacting Nikon and Microsoft directly.

But I was looking for UK distributor's....never thought to apply the same stategy ofr Europeen ones.

So I will keep trying

You will find it hard to get overseas distributors for branded products to sell to you at all. Many of them are in danger of forfeiting their authorised status if caught selling in the grey market. You need to get hold of traders who, one way or another, manage to get hold of stock and can export. It's taken me years to find all my current International trading contacts and I guard my database accordingly

Yes I understand the information is always highly gaurded and I understand that I would need a miracle for someone to reveal there sources, I was mearly asking if someone could steer me in the right direction of where I should be looking.

I know they are out there?

When I was in discovery phase I flew out to the country in question; Spain, Italy, France etc. etc. and tried to attend any and all trade fairs for the products in question. It's not necessarily the exhibitors you're after but the 'visitors' - you have to speak the lingo and have the front to ask people why they are visiting and take it from there.
