With the intention ‘testing the water’ to determine customer interest, Gavin Farmer and Ruud Hermans visited potential customers within the motorcycle manufacturing industry in China. The response received was even more positive than anticipated and resulted in Scion-Sprays implementing a development program with a leading motorcycle manufacturer. With a recognition of the affordability of the Scion-Sprays’ product, and an open minded attitude to new solutions, the Chinese are enthusiastic about meeting the challenge of stricter emissions regulations.
Gavin and Ruud also visited potential suppliers and business partners, many of whom were already known to Gavin through his 7 years working in China with Federal-Mogul. By the end of the trip Scion-Sprays had made a major leap forward in the areas of sourcing, local manufacturing and Asian market sales.
