Involvement of Horsten International

Some of Ickx’ products are already sold in China since 2017 and in November 2018 Ickx planned to participate in the FHC exhibition in Shanghai with the objective to develop its business in China, both through online sales as well as through retail and food service channels.

Horsten assisted Ickx with the preparation of the exhibition, including the drafting of a Chinese brochure, set-up of a WeChat official account and communication with potential partners and customers. During the FHC exhibition Horsten assisted the customer with translation and general guidance, including some follow-up after the exhibition.
