BRUSSELS — “In Poland, wholesalers are just trying to sell more goods without regard for profit,” according to Suleyman Ozturk, CIM&T (Crescent International Marketing & Trade) is a 17 year old wholesaler and also a brand based in Rotterdam, Holland and sells 50 percent synthetic leather and 50 percent all kinds of other fabrics in the three to six Euro price range for the furniture industry. CIM&T has eight employees operating in three countries. “Europe is quiet,” he says. However, the competition for the business is intense.” Romania, which CIM&T has just opened for business under the name Kvadrotex Fabrics, is an up and coming market, he says. In Poland, CIM&T operates under the Karisma brand. “I left Turkey 36 years ago. I buy 30 qualities from ten factories in China for the time being. I think the market is headed more to India in the future. Many factories are closing in China today due in part to the environmental requirements.”
