Default best foreign supply houses

Anyone out thre with a foreign pedigree. Can you post the name of the top one or two tree-supply houses in your country ie: GB, Germany, Spain etc----? I'm attempting to contact same in order to hopefully market a usful tree tool currently carried in the US by only two major supply houses. Any leads that pan-out I will send a sample (free) to the tipster. Thanks!

In Belgium there's GMV. The absolute top seller of tree gear around here.
Check out their website @ GMV nv

Now, I think it's better that you contact them directly on the address info@gmv.be because the website is in dutch...

Ekka---
Thanks for the heads-up about Arborlink in Austrailia. I have been in contact with them and hopefully will ship an order of sidekicks to them shortly. When this happens I will include an extra unit with your name on it.
Thanks again--

It's like a collapsable/extendable fishing pole with a hook ... used to advance your climbing line or hook it back etc ... handy for when you want to get out to the tips etc.

There's 2 types on the market. Retriever and Sidekick and like all good arguments some think one is better than the other.

I wonder how hard it would be to make one.some good heavy electrical wire for a hook and some collapsible fiberglass poles.
