A few weeks ago I cut a bunch of mats for a paper company guy who was taking ink jet paper samples to a trade show in Germany. He just called to tell me they were a big hit and a graphics arts guy (from Germany) was wondering where he could get that great matboard that I had used.

I probably missed out on an opportunity here - I should have told him that I am the sole international distributor, but it's Friday and I wasn't thinking clearly. I told him that the board, Bainbridge Alphamat 8808 Gypsum, should be available anywhere in Germany that carries a good selection of matboard.

Was I right? It seems like Nielsen-Bainbridge should be the most international of our manufacturers.

They should be available in Germany alright.In fact some of the bainbridge boards I get over here are from a German source.Neilsen do operate in Germany as far as I know.

They do. In fact, Bainbridge was all that I could get, for a very long time, when we lived there, and that was because it was local.

Ron,

Indeed, Nielsen-Bainbridge has a strong presence in Europe and Germany. In fact, I first saw the colored cored boards made in Germany by a smaller company that Nielsen-Bainbridge acquired.

Your friend can search for an authorized distributor on the Nielsen-Bainbridge Germany (http://www.nielsen-design.de/) website.

I'll be seeing their agent at the SACA Fair next week. He just happens to work in the booth next to where I'll be working. Farné Group (http://www.farnegroup.it/welcome.html) (Fletcher-Terry Italian distributor) If you want me to pass on his name, let me know.

Regards,

John
