A COMPANY that manufactures sensors is hoping to break into the eastern European market following a trade visit to the Czech Republic.
Triton Controls, which is based in Evenwood, near Bishop Auckland, County Durham, made the visit before Christmas to try to find a business partner to distribute its products.
It is now packing samples to send to a potential partner in the Czech Republic.
Sales manager Tim Smith was part of a party of eight that joined a UK Trade and Investment market visit to Eastern Europe last month, during which he met several distributors.
Triton Controls already exports to most of western Europe, as well as the US, South Africa, the Middle East and Asia.
Mr Smith said: "We are pretty sure that at least one of the business meetings will result in some new business for the company."
