ECUATRIN TRADE CONSULTANTS

COMPANY PROFILE

ECUATRIN IMPORTS AND EXPORTS LIMITED was a concept that attempted to
establlish trade relations between Trinidad and Tobago and Ecuador.At that
time, commerce existed primarily between The Caribbean USA and the UK and of
course, other Caribbean nations.

Although the market possibilities were limitless and very lucrative for
Caribbean manufacturers and suppliers, the language barriers, restrictive
and expensive shipping routes and virtually non existent bi lateral trade
agreements and concessions among nations, were formidable opponents.  In
March 1996, ECUATRIN began its first year of simple operations in a home
office in Quito Ecuador which served the Latin clients and another in Port
of Spain Trinidad, to support the needs of the Caribbean sector.

At a time when such a concept was considered impractical, foolish, too ahead
of its time and non profitable, it was obvious except to its founder, that
no financial institution would be willing to fund such a venture. Since this
type of business required excessive time, capital and innovative marketing
concepts, income had to be derived from other sources to supplement its very
existence. Because it could not sustain financial and administrative
operations effectively in two countries, the company, one year later,
registered a subsidiary, ECUATRIN TRADE CONSULTANTS INTERNATIONAL
as a permanent local enterprise in Trinidad and Tobago. It was the first
private company linking such an extensive range of trade investment and
consultancy services geared towards the exclusive needs of the manufacturing
sector.

Even before the  FREE TRADE OF THE AMERICAS , the founder had recognised
that this region had the potential to become a major trading block and a
powerful force. Convincing manufacturers,suppliers and peers of the impact
global and free trade would have on smaller economies and markets, was met
with opposition. So resistant is human nature to the inevitable, change,
that even the free lectures offeredby the company, to the members of the
manufacturers association was sparsely attended.


Several years later, and with pride, the company had forged associations
with many reputable and successsful enterprises throughout South America and
the Caribbean. Companies such as;

CASA LUKER -CHILE
GENERAL TIRES-ECUADOR
SMITH CONTAINER CORPORATION- USA
LATIN TRADE MAGAZINE- USA
IMPORTADORA NAVIO- DOMOINICAN REPBULIC
RICAMAR- DOMINICAN REPUBLIC
COMPANIA PERUANA- PERU
IMPORTE EQUIPOS- COLOMBIA

AUTOMOTIVE COMPONENTS- TRINIDAD
DIANA INVESTMENTS- TRINIDAD
MISONS INDUSTRIES- TRINIDAD
SASCHA COSMETICS- TRINIDAD

During four years ECUATRIN TRADE CONSULTANTS INTERNATIONAL represented
companies at trade missions and shows, forged business connections, opened
new larger markets established distributorship arrangements and linked
buyers and sellers to essential goods and services for their factories and
operations. The portfolio of the company, encompassed many commodities which
included:

tires, batteries,chocolates and confectionery, packaging materiald and
components, textiles, cosmetics, disposable diapers, canned goods
pharmaceuticals and commercial real estate .

Twelve years later, ECUATRIN has conducted business in The Caribbean, South
America, Australia, Europe, Africa and the USA. The company is registered
with and has been affiliated to many embassies, consulates, trade and export
centers ,including government institutions and officials. Several, with whom
ECUATRIN was registered with, have been instrumental to the development and
success of the company and are deserving of acknowlegement.
