BEV was extremely professional,” says Ilan. “He told me of a serious client in China who was looking for an environmental water solution for a project in Beijing. Shortly after that the owner of the Chinese company and his team came to see us in Israel and the visit concluded with an initial partnership agreement to supply units for the project. Since then, David has visited the project and offices in China and we are hopeful our relationship will continue long term. Ben has also a lot of good contacts in the Italian market and we hope to develop these too.

“They are just amazing. Not only do they produce results really fast, they also totally understand the product and believe in it. I didn't have to explain my vision, they got it immediately. Our meetings were very productive and very easy. The BEV team seem to have connections everywhere.”
