Playing tennis in Austria ? Better try it indoor...

Dear TF fans,

This week I have been travelling to Austria for my first visit in this country with Tecnifibre. For a first visit, I have not been disappointed...After flight cancelation because of bad weather conditions, I finally arrived in Linz to start our business Tour with our distributor Connective Sport, located in Vocklamarkt, near to Salzburg in west part of the country.

Tennis has some interesting potential and Tecnifibre, which had always many difficulties to perform in Austria, is launching now some new campaigns there with our local distributor. We have already found some great TF fans in some part of the countries and these will for sure help us to market the brand strongly in the coming months and years. Among them, Mr Moitzi and his team from JUDENBURG, who have created there a real Tecnifibre pro shop in his Indoor tennis place.

 

A BIG thank you also to Janko Tisparevic, who performed well in ATP Vienna the week before (semi final). This performance opened for sure some new doors for Tecnifibre in this country.

Squash fan in Korea.

Dear TF squash fans,

I wanted absolutely to show you an incredible Squash specialist from Seoul, that I met during my Tour in Korea this week, Youngsan Sports. South Korean shops are very famous for proposing so many brands and so many products on shelves, but this shop can be considered as a strong squash specialist, representing alone about 10% of global Korean market. (see pictures). Naturally you will find in this shop also numerous Tecnifibre Squash products. Among them also now TF tennis strings, since this shop is enlarging its activities to tennis. 

If you need a specific advise, ask Jim and say you come from me. I am sure you will find the right product there. Hopefully a TF one ! ;-))

From Japan to South Korea

Hello TF fans,

after a few days in Tokyo, we keep on travelling around Asia. At the moment, we are staying in Seoul, where we visit our new distributor, the company WOORI Corporation. This new Tecnifibre distributor started with the brand about 3 months ago and had already great results on his market thanks to successful re-introduction and exhibitions (see pictures). CONGRATULATIONS!

I was very glad to see that Tecnifibre has still lots of fans in South Korea. Thus, we can find again in Korea numerous shops proposing the new Tecnifibre products, such as strings, rackets, bags for both tennis and squash.

We wish WOORI Corp. and his Korean customers good luck and successes for the future with TF products!!!
