Wandering idly over the ISPO in my ‘Innippu’ T-Shirt by ‘HECHO EN MEXICO’ one beautiful winter’s day in January 2006, I was suddenly grabbed by the arm, moved to stand closeby and confronted with a Spanish speaking, wildly gesturing young man.

Without more ado Bernardo jun. introduced me to his father, Bernardo Cueva and his German colleague Michael Rittner, the latter being responsible for international sales.
A brief conversation about ourselves and our interests formed the basis for the first contact in Europe and our ongoing cooperation.

During the next ISPO I already represented the German department of SQUALO.

Since recently our sales area, as well as our exclusive internet sales, covers the whole of Europe. The friendships I made back then have developed now into family-like relationships.
