What does it take to bring one of Europe’s most trusted and recognizable building solution brands to North America? Aside from the obvious hard work and determination, a certain level of know-how and an ability to recognize the needs of a particular market are required. Luckily for Isomat, they’ve got Petros Nikoloulias. He is the president of Akrobond Building Solutions, the North American marketer of Isomat S.A., a fast developing manufacturer of building chemicals and mortars in Southeast Europe. Akrobond is Canada’s exclusive dealer of Isomat products.
“When I got a call asking if I’d be interested in distributing Isomat products, I jumped at the opportunity,” says Petros, who recognized the potential of a North American expansion. Less than a year in, he has been pleasantly surprised by the response Akrobond has received. “The size of the market is bigger than I ever could’ve imagined.” With that realization comes an expectation and responsibility to deliver.
