The market for fixed assets is worth around EUR 20 billion. In 2015, there are more than 9,000 companies offering fastening products similar to those of Lusan to the French territory.<\/p>\n<p>The sector has gone through some difficult years due to<strong> the economic crisis as it is heavily dependent on the construction sector.<\/strong> As demand from its main purchasing sector has fallen and the remaining companies have difficulties in making ends meet, we have seen a <strong>greater influx of Chinese manufacturers with cheaper prices than the French<\/strong>, and Europeans in general.<\/p>\n<h2>Francia The main clients of the fixings in France<\/h2>\n<table style=\"height: 508px;\" width=\"683\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"288\"><\/td>\n<td width=\"288\"><strong>Percentage %<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"288\"><strong>Retail and organized sales<\/strong><\/td>\n<td width=\"288\">13,66<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"288\"><strong>Independent trade<\/strong><\/td>\n<td width=\"288\">5,05<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"288\"><strong>Distributors of the company&#8217;s own network<\/strong><\/td>\n<td width=\"288\">1,21<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"288\"><strong>Wholesalers<\/strong><\/td>\n<td width=\"288\">11,86<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"288\"><strong>Sales to professional users<\/strong><\/td>\n<td width=\"288\">63,37<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"288\"><strong>Sale to individuals<\/strong><\/td>\n<td width=\"288\">2,29<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"288\"><strong>Foreigner<\/strong><\/td>\n<td width=\"288\">2,56<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>As we can see, the main buyers of fasteners in France are end users\/professionals. Only 2.56% is sold outside the country. On the other hand, 40% of the production is made outside France.<\/p>\n<h2>The multi-portfolio commercial agents in the fastening sector<\/h2>\n<p>We have decided to look for <strong>independent commercial agents<\/strong> to cover the maximum of French territory. We&#8217;ve done some very thorough research to narrow down the profiles. We have created one to BBDD of 50 commercial agents that is not a very extensive list. But we didn&#8217;t have to look any further as the profiles were very well identified and were what the company needed.<\/p>\n<p>On the other hand, as there have been many positive responses, there have been many negotiations and drafting of contracts, even though some of them have not been successful due to the company&#8217;s decision.<\/p>\n<p>A total of <strong>eight sales agents were introduced to Lusan<\/strong>. And we are sure that from now on they will establish Lusan&#8217;s presence on the French market. We wish our client much success in the future.<\/p>\n<h2>Other links of interest:<\/h2>\n<p class=\"entry-title\" data-fontsize=\"23\" data-lineheight=\"27\"><a href=\"https:\/\/oldbcnexports.projectes.biz\/en\/actualitat\/ecoresinas-exports-coverings-france\/\">Case study: the company Ecoresinas exports its sunscreens in France<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"entry-title\" data-fontsize=\"23\" data-lineheight=\"27\"><a href=\"https:\/\/oldbcnexports.projectes.biz\/en\/actualitat\/case-study-motores-campeon-gardening-sector-france\/\">Case study: Motores Campe\u00f3n and the gardening sector in France<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"entry-title\" data-fontsize=\"23\" data-lineheight=\"27\"><a href=\"https:\/\/oldbcnexports.projectes.biz\/en\/actualitat\/success-cuina-iaia-gourmet-croquettes\/\">Case of success: The internationalisation of La Cuina de la Iaia\u2019s gourmet croquettes<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"entry-title\" data-fontsize=\"23\" data-lineheight=\"27\"><a href=\"https:\/\/oldbcnexports.projectes.biz\/en\/actualitat\/internationalization-singular-spirits-artisanal-spirits\/\">Case of success: The internationalisation of Singular Spirits\u2019 artisanal spirits<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"entry-title\" data-fontsize=\"23\" data-lineheight=\"27\"><a href=\"https:\/\/oldbcnexports.projectes.biz\/en\/actualitat\/success-internationalization-gms-sistemas\/\">Case of success: The internationalisation of GMS Sistemas<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The company LUSAN LUSAN\u00a0fijacions\u00a0y\u00a0anclajes, S.L. was created in 1999 by professionals with extensive experience in the hardware sector.
