ERJ staff report (RD)

Seattle, Washington -- Marcon International Trading Inc., the North American export arm of a group of Russian businesses specialising in automobile parts, lubricants, diagnostic equipment and tyres has announced a new expansion venture.

Company founder and ceo, Sergey Chadaev said: "This new venture provides American automotive manufacturers, suppliers and distributors with opportunities to greatly expand their markets into new territories.”

“Using Marcon's turnkey services -- brand name, show rooms, warehouses and regional marketing expertise -- US companies will gain access into vast, untapped markets in the Russian Far East," Chadaev explained in a 16 Aug company statement.

Marcon and its Russian affiliates, InterMax and MAXIMA are the official distributors for Cooper Tire and Rubber Company, KEX Tire Repair Inc., Samson Corporation (United States), Kuttenkeuler GmbH (Germany) and Sinopec International (Hong Kong). Additional business partnerships include: Tire Rack, Les Schwab Tires, Motor Oil Supply, FESCO Agencies, Trans-NET Inc. and Pacific Terminals, the statement said.

"We are already regarded as an industry leader in the Russian Far East," Chadaev said. "However, recent demand for upscale, energy efficient automobiles now requires Marcon to pursue additional business opportunities in both the new and previously-owned auto markets. We are doing this by using integrated technologies, automated customer support systems and efficient operating procedures," he added.

To augment its extended US marketing strategy, Marcon, stationed in Seattle since 2005, recently opened an additional office in New York.
