Who are the
movers and shakers in the European markets?
Most of us
pretty well know who the leaders are in the United States,
but when it comes to lay of the land across the pond many of you can't begin to name the players much less tell us how well they were doing. The consumers
in this market place not only require quality and performance, but overall economy
to match. A very tough nut to crack indeed, and something that many makers struggle with on a
continual basis.
So with
out further ado here are the first 6 months European sales to set the record
straight on who those leaders really are across the
pond.
