Connect Marketplace Expands Operations with New Office in Germany

Expanding and strengthening our presence across key European markets is a natural next step in the development of Connect Marketplace. After building a stable system and establishing a presence in multiple markets, Germany stands out as one of the most important strategic areas for further growth — a market that sets high standards while offering exceptional opportunities.

By opening an office in Germany, we are further reinforcing our international network and moving closer to manufacturers, partners, and clients. This is not a traditional market entry, but rather a step toward deeper integration, a better understanding of local needs, and stronger relationships within the business community.

Germany as a Strategic Focus

Germany is one of the strongest economies in Europe, with a highly developed manufacturing, export, and SME sector. These are precisely the types of businesses that form the foundation of Connect Marketplace — companies with quality products that often seek efficient ways to establish a digital presence, expand sales, and enter new markets.

Our experience shows a strong demand for systems that simplify e-commerce and allow manufacturers to focus on what they do best. The German market brings a high level of professionalism, along with a willingness to collaborate with partners who offer concrete solutions and long-term value.

Local Presence as a Key to Further Growth

To strengthen our position even further, we have decided to establish a local operational presence. In developed markets, proximity to clients and a deep understanding of the local context play a crucial role.

Our representative for Germany is Ulrich Drunkemöller, who takes on the role of Managing Director of Connect Marketplace Germany. His experience and market knowledge enable us to adapt the Connect Marketplace model to the specific dynamics of the German business environment.

His role is not only operational but also strategic — connecting manufacturers, developing partnerships, and ensuring that the implementation of our solutions aligns with real market needs.

A Model Designed for Manufacturers

Connect Marketplace was developed with a clear goal — to provide manufacturers with a simple and efficient entry into digital sales, without unnecessary complexity.

In the German market, this means delivering a solution that includes all key elements: an online store, visual identity, content, technical infrastructure, and market access. Instead of a fragmented approach, manufacturers receive an integrated system that supports their business as a whole.

This model is particularly relevant for small and medium-sized manufacturers looking to grow but lacking the resources to develop complex digital systems. Connect Marketplace enables them to overcome technical barriers and focus on their product and market.

An Ecosystem That Connects Markets

It is important to emphasize that Connect Marketplace is not just a tool for building online stores. It is an ecosystem that connects different stakeholders — manufacturers, distributors, and customers.

In Germany, this creates additional value by linking to an existing international network. Manufacturers gain not only local visibility but also access to broader markets through thematic marketplaces and a digital catalog.

This approach enables faster expansion, easier partner discovery, and greater business flexibility.

Trust and Professionalism as a Foundation

The German market is characterized by high expectations when it comes to quality, reliability, and professionalism. That is why it is essential that every aspect of the business is clearly defined and consistently executed.

Connect Marketplace approaches this market with a focus on transparency, stability, and long-term collaboration. A local presence further strengthens trust by enabling direct communication and faster responsiveness to client needs.

This approach lays the groundwork for stable business relationships and continuous growth.

Opening New Opportunities

By strengthening its presence in Germany, Connect Marketplace is opening new opportunities for manufacturers — both local and international. The system we are building enables easier matching of supply and demand, faster distribution, and simplified market access.

For manufacturers, this means less administration, fewer technical challenges, and more focus on growth. For customers, it means easier access to quality products and reliable suppliers.

Looking Ahead

The opening of the office in Germany is part of a broader development strategy for Connect Marketplace. The goal is not just presence, but active participation in the market and continuous system improvement.

Next steps include developing partnerships, expanding the network of manufacturers, and further strengthening the digital infrastructure that connects different markets.

In this context, Germany is one of the key hubs — a market that can significantly accelerate further growth and open new doors.

Strengthening the Network and Driving Sustainable Growth

With the opening of its office in Germany, Connect Marketplace confirms its strategy of continuous growth and expansion into key markets. With local leadership under Ulrich Drunkemöller and a model already proven in practice, strong foundations have been established for further development.

This step is not just an organizational milestone, but part of a broader vision — building an international network that enables manufacturers to access markets more easily and achieve sustainable growth.
