Testimonials

In 30 years’ chemical industry experience, I’ve never seen a company start from scratch and achieve such impressive results in a short amount of time - especially with a brand new technology.

I’ve been working with Intralink since 2000 and it was a natural decision to hire their stellar team for a third time to drive Seismic’s market entry in South Korea and China. With China’s booming economy and South Korea leading industrial automation, both regions present huge opportunities for Seismic’s wearable robotic products. Intralink has the right blend of local market knowledge, customer contacts and technical expertise to help us expand our sales activity. Their reach also extends to investor relations, which is a big plus.

I’m excited to have Intralink at my side again to help Seismic establish its Powered Clothing as the standard for workplace safety in Asia.

Thank you for all your help with a smooth transition in Japan and Korea. Your team has been a great support and is a credit to your company – throughout our work together, going above and beyond what could be reasonably expected. Your commitment to client relations is commendable and I’m sure you’re rightfully proud of your people.

For a number of reasons, we decided to buy out the shares of our Chinese JV partner to create a wholly-owned subsidiary company situated in Hubei province. Negotiations were difficult and made worse by the cultural and language barriers. Employing Intralink at that point caused a significant shift in the dynamics of the negotiations in that they were able to communicate directly with the chairman of the Chinese company from a business perspective. This removed the emotion which inevitably dominated the largely face-to-face meetings conducted, up to then, through interpreters. Acting in this way, Intralink were also able to smooth out the cultural difficulties. After successful conclusion of the share purchase Intralink have assisted with recruitment and early-stage marketing activities.

Intralink took the time to understand our business and operated diligently, professionally and timely throughout our acquisition project. It quickly became evident they would make a significant contribution to our business in Korea and we would not hesitate to use their services again. They‘re a highly polished organization and I would recommend them as an Asian business partner.

Thank you so much for this comprehensive report - we appreciate its thoroughness and the insights included. There’s a great deal of useful information here that only an expert like you would know.

We employed Intralink to help us better understand and penetrate the market in Japan. Intralink devised a marketing plan, which involved a market audit followed by face to face meetings with identified potential customers. The whole process was professionally coordinated and managed by the team in Japan, supported from their offices in the UK. Intralink acted as an extension of our sales and marketing team. They were committed to the success of our product launch in Japan and I would have no hesitation in recommending them or their unique approach to developing business in Japan.

Atraverda works with Intralink in both Japan and China to accelerate the adoption of our proprietary battery technology. The local teams quickly understood the benefits of our unique energy storage solution and identified potential partners following exhaustive market research. We are delighted with Intralink’s commercial approach, they are great people to work with and have no hesitation in recommending them to companies looking for a presence in Asia.

We used Intralink and found them to be extremely effective. I was impressed with how quickly they understood our proposition and targeted the right people in our target companies. We also have used them to help us with supplier negotiations and again we were very happy with the service they provided. For me, the benefit of having "Brits" on the other end of the phone so we only had to deal with the distance and time difference and not the culture and language barriers was invaluable.

You did an amazing job of both learning and presenting the technology (I can think of some former colleagues who didn’t understand it as well as you did!) and, very importantly, thank you for protecting us from the baijiu without offending our partners!

Entering into a strategic partnership with a major player is an important milestone for us and gives us access not only to Japan but also to the wider Asia-Pacific market. Intralink has been instrumental in securing this deal for us – they have provided us with a physical presence on the ground while sharing their in-depth commercial know how and helping us navigate the linguistic and cultural protocols.

Thanks to you and the rest of the Intralink team for enabling us to find the best distributor in Korea – and for all your advice on achieving a smooth transition to them. It’s been invaluable to be able to tap into your expertise in the Korean market and to have had a team on the ground with such a can-do attitude.
