Good connections close by

Megatrade benefits greatly from our sister company in China, which is headed by a Danish CEO. This company provides us with easy and direct access to a large number of quality suppliers in Asia. Our colleagues in China provide special services such as technical discussion/feedback with suppliers, quality control and warehousing facility.

As a customer of Megatrade, you gain access to our numerous suppliers in both Europe and Asia. This means that Megatrade can find the right supplier who, with the quantities requested, can deliver at a good price. Several of our customers find it difficult to identify suppliers in Asia/China, so they come to us for help.

That means that cooperation with us provides many of our customers with great competitive advantages.

A collaboration in the pipeline?

Megatrade is keen to help find alternative suppliers or perhaps a supplier for new products.

Whether you are a buyer, designer or development engineer, contact Megatrade with your enquiry. We would love to help you and see if we can make a difference.

We generally start with a discussion about the product, use and environment. It really helps if you have a working drawing, target price and expected quantity, but if this is not the case, we will still be more than happy to discuss your needs and wishes.

Cases

Megatrade has many customers and relationships in the wind turbine industry who have entered into profitable collaboration with us. Here are a few examples:

A few years ago, a wind turbine industry subcontractor devised a new system for cable handling in wind turbine towers. Despite the fact that the system was approved, the subcontractor could not get established as a supplier. The subcontractor entered into a partnership with Megatrade, which has since stocked and distributed these items to kit-set suppliers worldwide.

A major wind turbine manufacturer had problems importing a wind turbine to the English market due to a floor hatch that was not provided with a proper closure/damping. The company contacted Megatrade to find a quick solution. Megatrade quickly solved the task so that the turbine could be approved and worked in parallel to find an even better solution. The result was our oil-dampened hinges TH-136 and ODH - see them here

We aim at long and evolving collaboration

We aim at strategic collaboration, which will amount to good business for both parties. The result is more satisfaction for customers. We are not locked into specific ways of trading or limited by specific items, and we are always ready to talk about your challenges and happy to help find a way to for you to achieve success.
