view details

Bill Edinger President of Spectra Watermakers approached BI to develop the international sales of its new innovative lower powered desalination systems. Barrow International was able to introduce the product to many leading distributors, gain access to the buyers of premier yards, and assist with making Spectra Watermakers so well known that they became the product of choice for high profile yachts such as the Volvo around the world race boats. Spectra Watermakers started exhibiting at METS on the Barrow International stand, and now takes its own stand at this key show. Spectra is now proud to be considered as one of the top systems available on the market today.

“Barrow international did a spectacular job getting our products introduced to the European market. David Barrow knows practically everyone in the industry and was able to set up a solid distribution network on no time. I would recommend Barrow int. for anyone looking to market a new product in the Euro Zone. David is also a hell of a nice guy!”
