Who are we?
Centrexia is an advisory and business matching firm headquartered in Vienna, with an office in Innsbruck and representatives in Riyadh and Beirut. We are the crossing point between companies in Austria, Germany, Switzerland, Liechtenstein and Italy and their counterparts in Saudi Arabia, the Gulf states, the Levant and the wider Middle East – in both directions.
Our team brings together 50 years of combined experience in Europe and the Middle East. Over the years we have worked across many sectors: construction and building materials, food service and hospitality, medicine and healthcare, industrial equipment and machinery, transportation and logistics, education and training, as well as trade fairs and exhibitions.
This experience has given us more than contacts. We understand how decisions are made on both sides, how long it takes to build trust, and which details decide whether a deal succeeds – from registrations, certifications and local regulations to language and business etiquette. We speak German, English, French and Arabic, and we know the people behind the companies.
Whether you are a European manufacturer looking for a distributor in the Gulf, or a company from the Middle East searching for reliable suppliers, technology and partners in Europe: we prepare the ground, open the right doors and stay with you until the partnership works.
