Market entry and market development in Austria and Hungary — without setting up your own subsidiary.
As a commercial agent based in Vienna, I handle acquisition, key account work and market activity for manufacturers and B2B suppliers — operationally, in three languages, with transparent reporting.
Commercial representation for strategic metals — where materials become business-critical resources.
In precious metals, technology metals and rare earth elements, decisions are not driven by price alone. Buyer trust, material quality, supplier credibility, documentation and local business dialogue determine whether a market opportunity becomes a reliable transaction.
I support B2B enquiries between Austria and Hungary where physical precious metals, strategic metals, technology metals or industrial raw materials need market positioning, buyer or supplier dialogue, negotiation preparation and multilingual commercial representation. The focus is commercial and market-facing; this is not investment, wealth or financial advice.

Manufacturers and B2B suppliers with a plan for Austria or Hungary.
I work with companies that need a clear plan for Austria or Hungary — and a partner who delivers it on the ground.
Industry and B2B manufacturing
Companies building new customer segments in Austria or Hungary — from technical products to project-based business.

Market entry candidates
Suppliers with concrete plans for Austria or Hungary that lack local representation, language and network.
Six situations come up especially often.
-
Problem 01
No local sales presence.
You don't want to hire someone before the market has proven itself. That's exactly why commercial agents exist.
-
Problem 02
You need honest market feedback.
Before marketing or sales budget is committed, a local market check pays off.
-
Problem 03
Language and culture are a barrier.
Between Central Europe and Hungary, there's more than just translation questions.
-
Problem 04
Build Eastern Austria with focus.
Better to truly develop one region than to spread resources thin.
-
Problem 05
Operational support, not just strategy.
Acquisition, meetings, quotes, follow-up — that all needs someone who shows up.
-
Problem 06
Local representation without your own structure.
Market presence with calculable effort — instead of your own subsidiary.
Eight modules along the sales cycle.
You can book individual modules or combined representation — depending on market readiness, budget and goal.

Vienna, Eastern Austria and Hungary.
My focus area is Vienna and Eastern Austria — Lower Austria, Burgenland and the eastern part of Styria — as well as Hungary. For selected projects I also travel within Upper Austria and the wider DACH region.
With my own car, regular travel routine and an active network on both sides of the border, I'm present where decisions are prepared and customer relationships are built.
