About the project
CarbonCure, headquartered in Nova Scotia, is global leader in CO₂ utilization for the concrete industry. Recycled CO₂, captured from industrial emitters, is injected into fresh concrete during production, using CarbonCure’s proprietary technology.
CarbonCure had started some activity in Germany and wanted to get a better position in the European market but were struggling with the different regulatory issues for each country. CarbonCure wanted to get in touch with distributors in the countries where they are not represented and were also keen to have meetings with producers directly.
How OCO Global Supported:
OCO developed a comprehensive program for four key markets: UK, France, Germany
and the Benelux. Following initial research it was agreed that the best route to market
would be a mix of direct to end users (producers) as well as through channel partners in
those markets where they are not yet working with distributors. A secondary objective
was to introduce CarbonCure to specialized experts that could support them with
regulations in each market. The targets were the midsize producers with on average
between 10-100 plants in one market.
Outcomes:
Within the timeframe of the 6-month programme, we secured 15 meetings with c-level leaders in target organisations, across the 4 target markets. From these meetings, CarbonCure has already signed up a distributor for the UK and several promising opportunities are being progressed at this moment.
‘The team at OCO Global was extremely professional and responsive to our changing needs. By bridging any linguistic and cultural gaps, OCO Global helped us secure 15 introductorymeetings with producers and prospective distributors in our priority European markets, one of which led to us securing a distributor. We are very pleased with the results from this program!’
